<p>Xxl is a free graphical spreadsheet developed at
<!-- Old URL: http://www.unice.fr -->
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Nice_Sophia_Antipolis">the
University of Nice</a> for Unix platforms. Xxl is written in
<!-- Old URL: http://kaolin.unice.fr -->
<a href="../stk/">STk</a>
and is based on the
<!-- Old URL: http://www.hobbs.wservice.com/tcl/capp/tkTable -->
<a href="https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/Tktable">tkTable</a>
widget. Xxl is designed to be simple, easy to use and user friendly. The
aim of xxl is not to compete with commercial spreadsheets. The latter are
often too complex for novices and provides too much functionnalities for
current usages. This last version of xxl provides a really fonctionnal
spreadsheet for small or middle-size sheets. The model it defines is similar
to that of all present-day spreadsheets. However, this model is limited
and has to be entirely revisited. Xxl should be a stable experimental platform
for future studies, in order to propose a reflexion and to define tools
for a new spreadsheet generation, more simple and secure to use. This point
