I have called it SpreadsheetLike.  What is it?  It is a data viewer, editor,
navigator and manipulator which can also be used for sharing data with other
user-defined Mathematica applications.  It is very efficient handling large
datasets: 1,000,000 rows by 10 columns? Not a problem at all.

Once data is inside the SpreadsheetLike GUI it can be manipulated by
cropping, sorting, hiding columns, filtering, and sampling.  The resulting
dataset can be saved in a new .sls (SpreassheetLike Sheet) file which can be
easily accessed later by means of the Open option in the File menu.  It has
many other nice features like printing data subsets and cloning itself but I
think that one of its best characteristics is that it can share data with
other Mathematica applications in real-time. 

I'll soon create a screencast and post a message here when ready.  While
that happens there is additional information with screenshots available in
http://www.prontoanalytics.com/products/spreadlike/overview.htm.  This
documentation is not exhaustive but is good enough to show what it is about.
SpreadshseetLike is not a spreadsheet but it provides a Spreasheet-Like user
experience in many ways.

Has anyone developed a simple spreadsheet application that works within
Mathematica?  It would be a useful tool.





Thanks
