I have wrote extensively about Spread32, but it doesn't work with Excel, so I am putting out a call for someone to either find or create a spreadsheet with Excel read/write and some functionality. It shouldn't be bloated with stuff I don't need, it should be lean. Other people have requested this, so I think that there is really a genuine interest in this. Reply with ideas.

Thanks Justin, for breathing some life into the "Portable Spreadsheet Application Initiative"
The only open-source spreadsheet application I could find that was fully compatible with Excel was GNUMERIC at {www.gnumeric.org}. I hope John will be able to make this portable.
PS: Does any application (in general) need to be open-source, for John to create a portable version?
It does have to be open-source. As for Gnumeric, I already discussed that with him, it will not work because of some inherent problems with the program. (link below)

I have been looking for a couple of days but no luck. I'll keep hunting
I am grateful to have another person helping me with the search for this much needed app.
