NAME
       gnumeric - a GNOME spreadsheet application.


SYNOPSIS
       gnumeric [OPTIONS] [files ... ]


DESCRIPTION
       gnumeric  is a powerful spreadsheet program created by the
       GNOME project. gnumeric intends to compete with commercial
       spreadsheets  by  becoming fully compatible with Microsoft
       Excel and through the support of most popular  spreadsheet
       file  formats  such  as  Excel, Lotus 1-2-3, Applix, Sylk,
       XBase and Oleo formats.

       gnumeric supports advanced calculations using statistical,
       financial  and database access functions. Plotting data is
       supported through an interface to the Guppi plotting  pro-
       gram.  A  plugin system extends gnumeric to enable the use
       the Python, Guile, or Perl  programing  languages  and  to
       enable  the export of data to the LaTeX \longtable format.

       The program can be started from the command line  as  gnu-
       meric  or  from  one  of  the menus provided by underlying
       platform. When started on the command line,  gnumeric  may
       be  followed  by the options listed below and possibly the
       names of gnumeric compressed XML format files  which  will
       then be opened immediately.
