This is a quickened release for Jim Ford, as he reads his spreadsheets
with Perl and Spreadsheet::Read, and wanted color support. Enjoy!

NAME
Spreadsheet::Read $,1x2(B Read the data from a spreadsheet

SYNOPSYS
use Spreadsheet::Read;
my $ref = ReadData ("test.csv", sep => ";");
my $ref = ReadData ("test.sxc");
my $ref = ReadData ("test.ods");
my $ref = ReadData ("test.xls");

my $a3 = $ref$,1rp(B>[1]{A3}, "\n"; # content of field A3 of sheet 1

return its content in a universal manner independent of the parsing
module that does the actual spreadsheet scanning.

http://www.xs4all.nl/~hmbrand/Spreadsheet-Read-0.17.tgz

0.17 Tue 04 Jul 2006

- xlscat new option: --ansii to (try to) use the ansi colors for fields
- Fixed a color attribute off-by-one error
- Added test cases (not yet complete)
- Added bold and underline

0.16 has been removed and/or marked for deletion

If installing from a color-enabled xterm, try

# xlscat -A -L files/attr.xls

after installation to see what 0.17 can do :)
