The following product is developed by Econotron Software, Inc. for use with GAUSS. Technical support is provided directly through the developer

Mercury v5.0

Mercury consists of a set of functions that provide an interface with GAUSS. These function permit sending strings, values and data from the external application to, running GAUSS code or procedures, and returning the data back to the external application. Thread control is explicitly supported.

Mercury has four main components:

• An Excel add-in that links an Excel Workbook to GAUSS. Data is sent to GAUSS, where it is processed, and the results are returned to the specified cells in the spreadsheet. Excel 95, 97, 2000 and XP are supported.

• A library of interface functions for developers who need to link GAUSS to an external application using custom interfaces. Sample example code is provided for VB and C++ applications.

• Windows clipboard support for GAUSS.

• A demonstration project showing how GAUSS compliant DLLs are created.

Mercury is designed for developers who wish to use GAUSS functionality within their applications, or who need to provide a custom front end for GAUSS; it is available for the Windows version of GAUSS.
