This is moodss (Modular Object Oriented Dynamic SpreadSheet) version
2.0. Moodss is implemented in the great Tcl language (requires at
least versions 8.0 of Tcl and Tk).

Moodss is a modular application. It displays data described and
updated in an independent module defined when the application is
started. Data is originally displayed in a table. Graphical views can
be created from any number of table cells through a simple drag'n'drop
operation. The table rows can be sorted in increasing or decreasing
order by selecting any column.

Complete help is provided through menus, widget tips and a
message area. The module name is passed as a command line
parameter. The moodss core then loads the module and start displaying
its data in a table, which is then updated at a user selectable
frequency.

The module code is the link between the moodss core and the data to be
displayed. All the specifics are kept in the module code. Moodss goal
is to become a complete and generic way of monitoring tabular data.

Apart from a sample module with random data, ps and cpustats modules
for Linux are included as examples (the ps module mimics the "top"
application) (new example modules are of course welcomed). A complete
HTML documentation is also included.

This is the second version of moodss and many more features (such as
piecharts, barcharts data views) will be added in future versions,
while maintaining upward module code compatibility. Minor bugs remain
(see the BUGS files) but I wanted to release early in order to get
some user feedback asap.

I cannot thank the authors of tkTable and BLT (official and
unofficial) enough for their great work.

Whether you like it (or hate it), please let me know. I would like to
hear about bugs and improvements you would like to see, especially at
this early stage of development. I will correct the bugs quickly,
especially if you send me a test script (module code with a data trace
would be best).
