This is moodss (Modular Object Oriented Dynamic SpreadSheet) version
3.0. 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 one or more independent modules loaded when the application
is started. Data is originally displayed in tables. Graphical views
(graph, bar or pie charts) can be created from any number of table
cells through a simple drag'n'drop operation. Table rows can be sorted
in increasing or decreasing order by selecting any column.

Thorough help is provided through menus, widget tips, a message area,
a module help window and a global help window with a complete HTML
documentation.

One or more module names are passed as command line parameters. The
moodss core then loads the modules and start displaying their data in
one or more tables, which are 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 specific code is kept in the module package. 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.

Development of moodss is continuing and as more features are added in
future versions, upward module code compatibility will be maintained.

I cannot thank the authors of tkTable, BLT (official and unofficial)
and the HTML library 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. I will correct
the bugs quickly, especially if you send me a test script (module code
with a data trace would be best).
