Micro-PWC CONFIGURATION GUIDE

4 Introduction

One Micro-DCI @aGlance/IT server interface license is included with each set of Micro-PWC software.
Additional licenses can be purchased. Optional @aGlance client "add-ins" (spreadsheet extensions) are
available. These add-ins allow users of spreadsheets to request data from an Micro-PWC running the
@aGlance server. This is done using the macro facilities of the spreadsheets. Add-ins are available for
Microsoft EXCEL for Windows and Lotus 1-2-3 for Windows, enabling these client applications to access
data from Micro-DCI.

The @aGlance/IT API is described in

Section 11
