In fact now that I've skipped to his paper's conclusion Mark and Paul specificly mention using glyphs for spread sheet cells. The paper in question is Glyphs: Flyweight Objects for Use Interfaces, Paul R Calder and Mark A. Linton, Stanford. The paper is ftp'able from interviews.stanford.edu, pub/doc/glyphs.ps.Z -- +- Bill England, wengland@stephsf.COM -----------------------------------+ | * * H -> He +24Mev | | * * * ...
