MODEL MASTER |
AN OBJECT-ORIENTED SPREADSHEET FRONT-END
Making spreadsheets safer
|
The solution - Model Master
Model Master (MM) solves these problems:
- A text-based language for programming spreadsheets.
- The MM compiler converts MM programs into spreadsheet
formulae.
- It is portable. The compiler can generate formulae for
different makes of spreadsheet.
- It is object-oriented. Via inheritance, this makes
code-reuse easy.
- MM programs are easy to read, write, and maintain.
- A graphical user interface can be added on so that
programs can be built visually.
