Mercury GE v5.1

Mercury GE consists of a set of functions that provide an interface with the GAUSS Engine. These functions permit sending strings, values and data from the external application to, running GAUSS Engine 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 the GAUSS Engine. Data is sent to the GAUSS Engine, 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 the GAUSS Engine 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 Engine compliant DLLs are created.

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