Excel reader library with source code

Short Description:
Antiexcel is a Microsoft-Excel file reader. It shows the excel file on a 
text console or an x-console. It can be used as an attachment viewer for any 
text-based email client ( ex. mutt)

About the author:
My name is Peter Borkuti. I am using text console based email clients
(like mutt) and it was annoying, that I had to download the excel attachment
into my desktop maschine and run OpenOffice just for viewing an excel file.
So I wrote theese small programs. Enjoy it.

About the name:
A got the idea from a brilliant program, antiword, which can show MS Word files
on text console.
