This has been dropped from the current (8.06) J installation but may still be useful.

NB. Microsoft Excel OLE utils (J as client, Excel as server)
NB.
NB. These utils create:
NB.   xlauto      parent window for Excel OLE automation object
NB.   xl          child control for Excel OLE automation object
NB.   wb          workbooks object
NB.
NB. main definitions:
NB.   xlopen      create Excel OLE automation object
NB.   xlshow      show/hide Excel OLE automation object
NB.   xlexit      exit Excel OLE automation object (saves)
NB.   xlquit      quit Excel OLE automation object (no save)
NB.
NB.   xlget       cover for oleget     - get object
NB.   xlset       cover for oleset     - set object parameter
NB.   xlcmd       cover for olemethod  - invoke method
NB.   xlid        cover for oleid      - assign id to current position
NB.
NB. read/write definitions. In each case, if "book sheet" is not given,
NB. it defaults to the current book and sheet.
NB.   xlread      read cell
NB.                 xlread 'book sheet row col'
NB.                 xlread 'row col'    NB. default book sheet
NB.   xlreadr     read range
NB.                 xlreadr 'book sheet row col rows cols'
NB.   xlwrite     write cell
NB.                 value xlwrite 'book sheet row col'
NB.   xlwriter    write range
NB.                 values xlwriter 'book sheet row col'
NB.
NB.   xlsetchart  set chart range
NB.
NB.   xlfmt       format numeric data as character delimited by LF
NB.   xlunfmt     unformat numeric data
NB.
NB. utilities:
NB.   xljmacro    run macro from jmacros.xls
NB.   xlwbws      return active workbook, worksheet
NB.   xlbox       box argument
NB.
NB. utilities from standard J library:
NB.   clipfmt     format data for clipboard
NB.   clipunfmt   unformat data read from clipboard
NB.
NB. requires Excel spreadsheet jmacros.xls. If necessary,
NB. create this using jmacros.txt.
