Hi all

I've started toying with an Excel interface for QuantLib, and I followed
Bernd's suggestion:

The results are in the module QuantLib-Excel that can be checked out from
our CVS (see quantlib.org/cvs.html)
QuantLib-Excel is actually based on a modified version of xlw that is
available from the CVS of the XLW SourceForge project (see http://xlw.sf.net).
I'm setting up the XLW SourceForge project with the xlw original author
Jerome Lecomte, to allow further xlw development.
[btw Bernd, if you solved the bugs you wrote about would you please share
the solution]

I had previous experience with spreadsheet, namely Applix, but I'm new to
Excel.
I'm starting with a simple add-in, but would like to build a few workbooks,
etc.
I'm pretty sure there are many Excel wizards on this list: if you're
interested in the project please join.

On a related note I have to evaluate the purchase of some Excel add-in for
my office. I know about Fincad, Monis, MBRM, and Numerix. Any other
suggestions?
Fincad looks like the simpler and cheaper ...
If you have used (one of) them and want to share your experience I would
appreciate.

thank you
