+	<h3><a name="EXnumber">Number of Classes</a></h3>
+		<p>The number of concrete and abstract classes (and interfaces) in the package is an indicator of the extensibility of the package.</p>
+	<h3><a name="EXafferent">Afferent Couplings</a></h3>
+		<p>The number of other packages that depend upon classes within the package is an indicator of the package's responsibility. </p>
+	<h3><a name="EXefferent">Efferent Couplings</a></h3>
+		<p>The number of other packages that the classes in the package depend upon is an indicator of the package's independence. </p>
+	<h3><a name="EXabstractness">Abstractness</a></h3> 
+		<p>The ratio of the number of abstract classes (and interfaces) in the analyzed package to the total number of classes in the analyzed package. </p>
+		<p>The range for this metric is 0 to 1, with A=0 indicating a completely concrete package and A=1 indicating a completely abstract package. </p>
+	<h3><a name="EXinstability">Instability</a></h3>
+		<p>The ratio of efferent coupling (Ce) to total coupling (Ce / (Ce + Ca)). This metric is an indicator of the package's resilience to change. </p>
+		<p>The range for this metric is 0 to 1, with I=0 indicating a completely stable package and I=1 indicating a completely instable package. </p>
+	<h3><a name="EXdistance">Distance</a></h3>
+		<p>The perpendicular distance of a package from the idealized line A + I = 1. This metric is an indicator of the package's balance between abstractness and stability. </p>
+		<p>A package squarely on the main sequence is optimally balanced with respect to its abstractness and stability. Ideal packages are either completely abstract and stable (x=0, y=1) or completely concrete and instable (x=1, y=0). </p>
+		<p>The range for this metric is 0 to 1, with D=0 indicating a package that is coincident with the main sequence and D=1 indicating a package that is as far from the main sequence as possible. </p>

-     The POI project consists of APIs for manipulating various file formats 
-     based upon Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document format using pure Java.
-  </description>
-
-  <detailed>
-     A common misconception is that POI writes Excel files. POI is the 
-     name of the project. POI contains several components, one of which, 
-     HSSF, writes Excel files. The following are components of the entire 
-     POI project.POIFS is the oldest and most stable part of the project. 
-     It is our port of the OLE 2 Compound Document Format to pure Java. 
-     It supports both read and write functionality. All of our components 
-     ultimately rely on it by definition. HSSF is our port of the 
-     Microsoft Excel 97(-2002) file format (BIFF8) to pure Java. 
-     It supports read and write capability. HDF is our port of the 
-     Microsoft Word 97 file format to pure Java. 
-     It supports read and write capability. This component is in the early 
-     stages of design. Jump in!

+       <p>
+          A number of people are using POI for a variety of purposes.  As with
+          any new API or technology, the first question people generally ask
+          is not "how can I" but rather "Who else is doing what I'm about to
+          do?"  This is understandable with the abysmal success rate in the
+          software business.  These case statements are meant to help create
+          confidence and understanding.
+       </p>
+    </section>
+    <section><title>Submitting a Case Study</title>
+       <p>
+          We are actively seeking case studies for this page (after all it
+          just started).  Andy Oliver (acoliver at apache dot org) has
+          agreed to have a few T-Shirts printed with the POI logo (once its
+          chosen) for the first
+          few best submissions.  To submit a case study, either
+          <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/getinvolved/index.html">
+          submit a patch for this page</link> (preferred) or email it to the
+          <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html">mailing list
+          </link>.

+          The <link href="http://www.lbank.lt">Bank of Lithuania</link>
+          reports financial statistical data to Excel format using the
+          <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/poi">Jakarta POI</link>
+          project's <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf">
+          HSSF</link> API.  The system is based on Oracle JServer and
+          utilizes a Java stored procedure that outputs to XLS format
+          using the HSSF API.  - Arian Lashkov (alaskov at lbank.lt)

+      <section><title>Bit Tracker by Tracker Inc., and ThinkVirtual</title>
+        <p>
+Bit Tracker (http://www.bittracker.com) is the world's first and only web-based drill bit tracking system to manage your company's critical bit information and use that data to its full potential. It manages all bit related data, including their usage, locations, how they were used, and results such as rate of penetration and dull grade after use.  This data needs to be available in Excel format for backwards compatibility and other uses in the industry.  After using CSV and HTML formats, we needed something better for creating the spreadsheets and POI is the answer.  It works great and was easy to implement.  Kudos to the POI team.

+      <p>
+      Edwards and Kelcey Technology (http://www.ekcorp.com/) developed a
+      Facility
+      Managament and Maintenance System for the Telecommunications industry
+      based
+      on Turbine and Velocity. Originally the invoicing was done with a simple
+      CVS
+      sheet which was then marked up by accounts and customized for each client.
+      As growth has been consistent with the application, the requirement for
+      invoices that need not be touched by hand increased. POI provided the
+      solution to this issue, integrating easily and transparently into the
+      system. POI HSSF was used to create the invoices directly from the server
+      in
+      Excel 97 format and now services over 150 unique invoices per month.

+          projects HSSF API to provide their medical
+          research clients with an Excel export from their electronic data
+          collection web service Data Collector 3.0.  The POI team's assistance
+          allowed ClickFind to give their clients a data format that requires less
+          technical expertise than the XML format used by the Data Collector
+          application.  This was important to ClickFind as many of their current
+          and potential clients are already using Excel in their day-to-day
+          operations and in established procedures for handling their generated
+          clinical data.  - Jared Walker (jared.walker at clickfind.com)

+    <faq>
+        <question>
+          Why is reading a simple sheet taking so long?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+          <p>You've probably enabled logging.  Logging is intended only for
+          autopsie style debugging.  Having it enabled will reduce performance
+          by a factor of at least 100.  Logging is helpful for understanding
+          why POI can't read some file or developing POI itself.  Important
+          errors are thrown as exceptions, which means you probably don't need
+          logging.</p>
+        </answer>
+    </faq>
+    <faq>
+        <question>
+          What is the HSSF "eventmodel"?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+              <p>The HSSF eventmodel package is a new API for reading XLS files more efficiently.  It does
+              require more knowledge on the part of the user, but reduces memory consumption by more than
+              tenfold.  It is based on the AWT event model in combination with SAX.  If you need read-only
+              access to a given XLS file, this is the best way to do it.</p>

+        <question>
+          Why can't read the document I created using Star Office 5.1?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+              <p>Star Office 5.1 writes some records using the older BIFF standard.  This causes some problems
+              with POI which supports only BIFF8.</p>

+    <faq>
+        <question>
+            Why am I getting an exception each time I attempt to read my spreadsheet?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <p>It's possible your spreadsheet contains a feature that is not currently supported by HSSF.
+            For example - spreadsheets containing cells with rich text are not currently supported.</p>
+        </answer>
+    </faq>

+        <question>
+            Does HSSF support protected spreadsheets?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <p>Protecting a spreadsheet encrypts it.  We wont touch encryption because we're not legally educated
+            and don't understand the full implications of trying to implement this.  If you wish to have a go
+            at this feel free to add it as a plugin module.  We wont be hosting it here however.</p>

+        <question>
+            How do you tell if a field contains a date with HSSF?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <p>Excel stores dates as numbers therefore the only way to determine if a cell is
+            actually stored as a date is to look at the formatting. There is a helper method
+            in HSSFDateUtil (since the 1.7.0-dev release) that checks for this.
+            Thanks to Jason Hoffman for providing the solution.</p>
+            <source>
+   case HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC:
+         double d = cell.getNumericCellValue();
+         // test if a date!
+         if (HSSFDateUtil.isCellDateFormatted(cell)) {
+           // format in form of M/D/YY
+           cal.setTime(HSSFDateUtil.getJavaDate(d));
+           cellText =
+             (String.valueOf(cal.get(Calendar.YEAR))).substring(2);
+           cellText = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1 + "/" +
+                      cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH) + "/" +

+    <faq>
+        <question>
+            I'm trying to stream an XLS file from a servlet and I'm having some trouble.  What's the problem?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <p>
+            The problem usually manifests itself as the junk characters being shown on
+            screen. The problem persists even though you have set the correct mime type.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+            The short answer is, don't depend on IE to display a binary file type properly if you stream it via a
+            servlet. Every minor version of IE has different bugs on this issue.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+            The problem in most versions of IE is that it does not use the mime type on
+            the HTTP response to determine the file type; rather it uses the file extension
+            on the request. Thus you might want to add a
+                <strong>.xls</strong> to your request
+            string. For example
+                <em>http://yourserver.com/myServelet.xls?param1=xx</em>. This is
+            easily accomplished through URL mapping in any servlet container. Sometimes
+            a request like
+                <em>http://yourserver.com/myServelet?param1=xx&amp;dummy=file.xls</em> is also
+            known to work.
+
+            </p>
+            <p>
+            To guarantee opening the file properly in Excel from IE, write out your file to a
+            temporary file under your web root from your servelet. Then send an http response
+            to the browser to do a client side redirection to your temp file. (Note that using a 
+            server side redirect using RequestDispatcher will not be effective in this case)
+            </p>
+            <p>
+            Note also that when you request a document that is opened with an
+            external handler, IE sometimes makes two requests to the webserver. So if your
+            generating process is heavy, it makes sense to write out to a temporary file, so that multiple
+            requests happen for a static file.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+            None of this is particular to Excel. The same problem arises when you try to
+            generate any binary file dynamically to an IE client. For example, if you generate
+            pdf files using
+                <link href="http://xml.apache.org/fop">FOP</link>, you will come across many of the same issues.

+        <question>
+            I want to set a cell format (Data format of a cell) of a excel sheet as ###,###,###.#### or ###,###,###.0000.    Is it possible using POI ?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <p>
+	   Yes.  You first need to get a HSSFDataFormat object from the workbook and call getFormat with the desired format.  Some examples are <link href="hssf/quick-guide.html#DataFormats">here</link>.

+            I want to set a cell format (Data format of a cell) of a excel sheet as text.    Is it possible using POI ?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <p>
+	   Yes.  This is a built-in format for excel that you can get from HSSFDataFormat object using the format string "@".  Also, the string "text" will alias this format.

+        <question>
+            How do I add a border around a merged cell?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <p>Add blank cells around where the cells normally would have been and set the borders individually for each cell.
+            We will probably enhance HSSF in the future to make this process easier.</p>

+        <question>
+            I tried to set cell values and Excel sheet name on my native language,
+            but I failed to do it. :(
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <p>By default HSSF uses cell values and sheet names as compressed unicode,
+            so to support localization you should use Unicode.
+            To do it you should set it manually:</p>
+            <source>
+                // for sheet name
+                HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
+                HSSFSheet s = wb.createSheet();
+                wb.setSheetName( 0, "SomeUnicodeName", HSSFWorkbook.ENCODING_UTF_16 );
+
+                // for cell value
+                HSSFRow r = s.createRow( 0 );
+                HSSFCell c = r.createCell( (short)0 );
+                c.setCellType( HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_STRING );
+                c.setEncoding( HSSFCell.ENCODING_UTF_16 );
+                c.setCellValue( "\u0422\u0435\u0441\u0442\u043E\u0432\u0430\u044F" ); </source>
+            <p>
+                Make sure you make the call to setEncoding() before calling setCellValue(), otherwise what you pass in won't be interpreted properly.

+        <question>
+            Will Poi read any spreadsheet and rewrite it with modifications.
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <p>Poi is not guanteed to read the contents of any spreadsheet.
+                Certain features may cause spreadsheets to fail to read.  More
+                problematic is rewriting spreadsheets.  Poi tried hard to
+                preserve the records of the original spreadsheet but some
+                features may cause problems.  We advise that you limit the
+                formatting of spreadsheets you process so as to not be
+                unpleasantly suprised at a later stage.</p>

+            <p>
+              Don't forget which branch you are currently on.  This is critically
+              important.  Committing stuff to the wrong branch causes all sorts of
+              headaches.  Best to name your checkout after the branch you are on.

+        <section><title>Who Manages Branching?</title>
+            <p>
+                All branching is currently managed by Glen Stampoultzis.  If you wish
+                to create your own branch please let him know.  Merging is also
+                handled by Glen.  Just pop him a mail if you feel it's necessary to
+                create a branch or perform a merge.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+                The reason to go through a single point for branching is that it can be
+                an easy thing to get wrong.  Having a single person managing branches
+                means there is less chance of getting getting our wires crossed with this
+                difficult area of CVS.

+  <section><title>Submitting Patches</title>
+   <p>
+     Create patches by getting the latest sources from CVS (the HEAD).
+     Alter or add files as appropriate.  Then, from the jakarta-poi directiory,
+     type cvs diff -u > mypatch.patch.  This will capture all of your changes
+     in a patch file of the appropriate format.  Next, if you've added any 
+     files, create an archive (tar.bz2 preferred as its the smallest) in a 
+     path-preserving archive format, relative to your jakarta-poi directory. 
+     (Note: If you use <link href="http://www.wincvs.org/">WinCVS</link>, move to
+     [Admin] -&gt; [Command Line] Menu and type "cvs diff -u" at 
+     [Enter a cvs line command] input field ([Commandline Settings] Tab), 
+     while selecting the target directories or files, in order to create 
+     unified diffs. 
+     In other words, [Alt+A]+[Alt+C]+[Alt+C] and type "cvs diff -u".) 
+     You'll attach both files in the next step.
+   </p>
+   <p> 
+     Patches are submitted via the <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/bugs.html">Bug Database</link>.  
+     Create a new bug, set the subject to [PATCH] followed by a brief description.  Explain you patch and any special instructions and submit/save it.  
+     Next, go back to the bug, and create attachements for the patch files you
+     created.  Be sure to describe not only the files purpose, but its format. 
+     (Is that ZIP or a tgz or a bz2 or what?).
+   </p>
+   <p>
+     Make sure your patches include the @author tag on any files you've altered
+     or created.  Make sure you've documented your changes and altered the 
+     examples/etc to reflect them.  Any new additions should have unit tests.
+     Lastly, ensure that you've provided approriate javadoc.  (see 
+     <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/resolutions/res001.html">Coding
+     Standards</link>).  Patches that are of low quality may be rejected or 
+     the contributer may be asked to bring them up to spec.

+  <section><title>The Word 97 File Format in semi-plain English</title>
+
+   <p>The purpose of this document is to give a brief high level overview of the
+      HDF document format. This document does not go into in-depth technical
+      detail and is only meant as a supplement to the Microsoft Word 97 Binary
+      File Format freely available at <link href="http://wotsit.org">Wotsit.org</link>.</p>
+   <p>The OLE file format is not discussed in this document. It is assumed that
+      the reader has a working knowledge of the POIFS API. </p>
+
+   <section><title>Word file structure</title>
+    <p>A Word file is made up of the document text and data structures
+       containing formatting information about the text. Of course, this is a
+       very simplified illustration. There are fields and macros and other
+       things that have not been considered. At this stage, HDF is mainly
+       concerned with formatted text.</p>
+   </section>
+   <section><title>Reading Word files</title>
+    <p>The entry point for HDF's reading of a Word file is the File Information
+       Block (FIB). This structure is the entry point for the locations and size
+       of a document's text and data structures. The FIB is located at the
+       beginning of the main stream.</p>
+    <section><title>Text</title>
+     <p>The document's text is also located in the main stream. Its starting
+        location is given as FIB.fcMin and its length is given in bytes by
+        FIB.ccpText. These two values are not very useful in getting the text
+        because of unicode. There may be unicode text intermingled with ASCII
+        text. That brings us to the piece table.</p>
+     <p>The piece table is used to divide the text into non-unicode and unicode
+        pieces. The size and offset are given in FIB.fcClx and FIB.lcbClx
+        respectively. The piece table may contain Property Modifiers (prm).
+        These are for complex(fast-saved) files and are skipped. Each text piece
+        contains offsets in the main stream that contain text for that piece.
+        If the piece uses unicode, the file offset is masked with a certain bit.
+        Then you have to unmask the bit and divide by 2 to get the real file
+        offset. </p>
+    </section>
+    <section><title>Text Formatting</title>
+     <section><title>Stylesheet</title>
+      <p>All text formatting is based on styles contained in the StyleSheet.
+         The StyleSheet is a data structure containing among other things, style
+         descriptions. Each style description can contain a paragraph style and
+         a character style or simply a character style. Each style description
+         is stored in a compressed version on file. Basically these are deltas
+         from another style.</p>
+      <p>Eventually, you have to chain back to the nil style which is an
+         imaginary style with certain implied values.</p>
+     </section>
+     <section><title>Paragraph and Character styles</title>
+      <p>Paragraph and Character formatting properties for a document's text are
+         stored on file as deltas from some base style in the Stylesheet. The
+         deltas are used to create a complete uncompressed style in memory.</p>
+      <p>Uncompressed paragraph styles are represented by the Pargraph
+         Properties(PAP) data structure. Uncompressed character styles are
+         represented by the Character Properties(CHP) data structure. The styles
+         for the document text are stored in compressed format in the
+         corresponding Formatted Disk Pages (FKP). A compressed PAP is referred
+         to as a PAPX and a compressed CHP is a CHPX. The FKP locations are
+         stored in the bin table. There are seperate bin tables for CHPXs and
+         PAPXs. The bin tables' locations and sizes are stored in the FIB.</p>
+      <p>A FKP is a 512 byte OLE page. It contains the offsets of the beginning
+         and end of each paragraph/character run in the main stream and the
+         compressed properties for that interval. The compessed PAPX is based on
+         its base style in the StyleSheet. The compressed CHPX is based on the
+         enclosing paragraph's base style in the Stylesheet.</p>
+     </section>
+     <section><title>Uncompressing styles and other data structures</title>
+      <p>All compressed properties(CHPX, PAPX, SEPX) contain a grpprl. A grpprl
+         is an array of sprms. A sprm defines a delta from some base property.
+         There is a table of possible sprms in the Word 97 spec. Each sprm is a
+         two byte operand followed by a parameter. The parameter size depends on
+         the sprm. Each sprm describes an operation that should be performed on
+         the base style. After every sprm in the grpprl is performed on the base
+         style you will have the style for the paragraph, character run,
+         section, etc.</p>

+    <section><title>Brief Project History</title>
+
+        <p>The POI project was dreamed up back around April 2001, when
+        Andy Oliver landed a short term contract to do Java-based
+        reporting to Excel. He'd done this project a few times before
+        and knew right where to look for the tools he needed.
+        Ironically, the API he used to use had skyrocketed from around
+        $300 ($US) to around $10K ($US). He figured it would take two
+        people around six months to write an Excel port so he
+        recommended the client fork out the $10K.
+        </p>
+
+        <p>Around June 2001, Andy started thinking how great it would
+        be to have an open source Java tool to do this and, while he
+        had some spare time, he started on the project and learned
+        about OLE 2 Compound Document Format. After hitting some real
+        stumpers he realized he'd need help. He posted a message to
+        his local Java User's Group (JUG) and asked if anyone else
+        would be interested. He lucked out and the most talented Java
+        programmer he'd ever met, Marc Johnson, joined the project. He
+        ran rings around Andy at porting OLE 2 CDF and rewrote his
+        skeletal code into a more sophisticated library. It took Marc
+        a few iterations to get something they were happy with.
+        </p>
+
+        <p>While Marc worked on that, Andy ported XLS to Java, based
+        on Marc's library. Several users wrote in asking to read XLS
+        (not just write as had originally been planned) and one user
+        had special requests for a different use for POIFS. Before
+        long, the project scope had tripled.  POI 1.0 was released a
+        month later than planned, but with far more features. Marc
+        quickly wrote the serializer framework and HSSF Serializer in
+        record time and Andy banged out more documentation and worked
+        on making people aware of the project
+        </p>
+
+        <p> Shortly before the release, POI was fortunate to come into
+          contact with Nicola -Ken- Barrozzi who gave them samples for
+          the HSSF Serializer and help uncover its unfortunate bugs
+          (which were promptly fixed).  More recently, Ken ported most
+          of the POI project documentation to XML from Andy's crappy
+          HTML docs he wrote with Star Office.
+        </p>
+
+        <p> Around the same time as the release, Glen Stampoultzis
+joined the project.  Glen was ticked off at Andy's flippant attitude
+towards adding graphing to HSSF.  Glen got so ticked off he decided to
+grab a hammer and do it himself.  Glen has already become an integral
+part of the POI development community; his contributions to HSSF have
+already started making waves.
+        </p>
+
+        <p>Somewhere in there we decided to finally submit the project
+         to <link href="http://xml.apache.org/cocoon">The Apache
+         Cocoon Project</link>, only to discover the project had
+         outgrown fitting nicely into just Cocoon long ago.
+         Furthermore, Andy started eyeing other projects he'd like to
+         see POI functionality added to.  So it was decided to donate
+         the Serializers and Generators to Cocoon, other POI
+         integration components to other projects, and the POI APIs
+         would become part of Jakarta.  It was a bumpy road but it
+         looks like everything turned out since you're reading this!
+        </p>
+
+    </section>
+
+    <section><title>What's next for POI</title>
+        <p>First we'll tackle this from a project standpoint: Well, we
+        made an offer to Microsoft and Actuate (tongue in cheek
+        ... well mostly) that we'd quit the project and retire if
+        they'd simply write us each a really large check. I've yet to
+        get a phone call or email so I'm assuming they're not going to
+        pay us to go away.
+        </p>
+        <p>Next, we've got some work to do here at Jakarta to finish
+           integrating POI into the community.  Furthermore, we're
+           still transitioning the Serializer to Cocoon.
+        </p>
+        <p>HSSF, during the 2.0 cycle, will undergo a few
+        optimizations. We'll also be adding new features like a full
+        implementation of Formulas and custom text formats. We're
+        hoping to be able to generate smaller files by adding
+        write-support for RK, MulRK and MulBlank records. I'm also
+        going to work on a Cocoon 2 Generator. Currently, reading is
+        not very efficient in HSSF. This is mainly because in order to
+        write or modify, one needs to be able to update upstream
+        pointers to downstream data. To do this you have to have
+        everything between in memory. A Generator would allow SAX
+        events to be processed instead. (This will be based on the low
+        level structures). One of the great things about this is that,
+        you'll not only have a more efficient way to read the file,
+        you'll have a great way to use spreadsheets as XML data
+        sources.
+        </p>
+        <p>The HSSF Serializer, will further separate into a general
+        framework for creating serializers for other formats and the
+        HSSF Serializer specific implementation. (This is largely
+        already true). We'll also be adding support for features
+        already supported by HSSF (styles, fonts, text formats). We're
+        hoping to add support for formulas during this cycle.
+        </p>
+        <p>We're beginning to expand our scope yet again. If we could
+        do all of this for XLS files, what about Doc files or PPT
+        files? We're thinking that our next component (HDF - Horrible
+        Document Format) should follow the same pattern. We're hoping
+        that new blood will join the team and allow us to tackle this
+        even faster (in part because POIFS is already finished). But
+        maybe what we need most is you!  </p>

+    <li>
+     The <link href="#sec1">first section</link> explains how to read

+
+    <li>
+     The <link href="#sec3">third section</link> tells how to read

+   <section><title>Reading Standard Properties</title>
+
+    <note>This section explains how to read
+      the most important standard properties of a Microsoft Office
+      document. Standard properties are things like title, author, creation
+      date etc. Chances are that you will find here what you need and
+      don't have to read the other sections.</note>
+
+    <p>The first thing you should understand is that properties are stored in
+     separate documents inside the POI filesystem. (If you don't know what a
+     POI filesystem is, read the <link href="../poifs/index.html">POIFS
+      documentation</link>.)  A document in a POI filesystem is also called a
+     <strong>stream</strong>.</p>
+
+    <p>The following example shows how to read a POI filesystem's
+     "title" property. Reading other properties is similar. Consider the API
+     documentation of <code>org.apache.poi.hpsf.SummaryInformation</code> to
+     learn which methods are available!</p>
+
+    <p>The standard properties this section focusses on can be found in a
+     document called <em>\005SummaryInformation</em> located in the root of the
+     POI filesystem. The notation <em>\005</em> in the document's name means
+     the character with the decimal value of 5. In order to read the title, an
+     application has to perform the following steps:</p>
+
+    <ol>
+     <li>
+      Open the document <em>\005SummaryInformation</em> located in the root
+       of the POI filesystem.
+     </li>
+     <li>
+      Create an instance of the class <code>SummaryInformation</code> from
+       that document.
+     </li>
+     <li>
+      Call the <code>SummaryInformation</code> instance's
+       <code>getTitle()</code> method.
+     </li>
+    </ol>
+
+    <p>Sounds easy, doesn't it? Here are the steps in detail.</p>
+
+
+    <section><title>Open the document \005SummaryInformation in the root of the
+       POI filesystem</title>
+
+     <p>An application that wants to open a document in a POI filesystem
+      (POIFS) proceeds as shown by the following code fragment. (The full
+      source code of the sample application is available in the
+      <em>examples</em> section of the POI source tree as
+      <em>ReadTitle.java</em>.</p>
+
+     <source>
+import java.io.*;
+import org.apache.poi.hpsf.*;
+import org.apache.poi.poifs.eventfilesystem.*;
+
+// ...
+
+public static void main(String[] args)
+    throws IOException
+{
+    final String filename = args[0];
+    POIFSReader r = new POIFSReader();
+    r.registerListener(new MyPOIFSReaderListener(),
+                       "\005SummaryInformation");
+    r.read(new FileInputStream(filename));
+}</source>
+
+     <p>The first interesting statement is</p>
+
+     <source>POIFSReader r = new POIFSReader();</source>
+
+     <p>It creates a
+      <code>org.apache.poi.poifs.eventfilesystem.POIFSReader</code> instance
+      which we shall need to read the POI filesystem. Before the application
+      actually opens the POI filesystem we have to tell the
+      <code>POIFSReader</code> which documents we are interested in. In this
+      case the application should do something with the document
+      <em>\005SummaryInformation</em>.</p>
+
+     <source>
+r.registerListener(new MyPOIFSReaderListener(),
+                   "\005SummaryInformation");</source>
+
+     <p>This method call registers a
+      <code>org.apache.poi.poifs.eventfilesystem.POIFSReaderListener</code>
+      with the <code>POIFSReader</code>. The <code>POIFSReaderListener</code>
+      interface specifies the method <code>processPOIFSReaderEvent</code>
+      which processes a document. The class
+      <code>MyPOIFSReaderListener</code> implements the
+      <code>POIFSReaderListener</code> and thus the
+      <code>processPOIFSReaderEvent</code> method. The eventing POI filesystem
+      calls this method when it finds the <em>\005SummaryInformation</em>
+      document. In the sample application <code>MyPOIFSReaderListener</code> is
+      a static class in the <em>ReadTitle.java</em> source file.</p>
+
+     <p>Now everything is prepared and reading the POI filesystem can
+      start:</p>
+
+     <source>r.read(new FileInputStream(filename));</source>
+
+     <p>The following source code fragment shows the
+      <code>MyPOIFSReaderListener</code> class and how it retrieves the
+      title.</p>
+
+     <source>
+static class MyPOIFSReaderListener implements POIFSReaderListener
+{
+    public void processPOIFSReaderEvent(POIFSReaderEvent event)
+    {
+        SummaryInformation si = null;
+        try
+        {
+            si = (SummaryInformation)
+                 PropertySetFactory.create(event.getStream());
+        }
+        catch (Exception ex)
+        {
+            throw new RuntimeException
+                ("Property set stream \"" +
+                 event.getPath() + event.getName() + "\": " + ex);
+        }
+        final String title = si.getTitle();
+        if (title != null)
+            System.out.println("Title: \"" + title + "\"");
+        else
+            System.out.println("Document has no title.");
+    }
+}
+</source>
+
+     <p>The line</p>
+
+     <source>SummaryInformation si = null;</source>
+
+     <p>declares a <code>SummaryInformation</code> variable and initializes it
+      with <code>null</code>. We need an instance of this class to access the
+      title. The instance is created in a <code>try</code> block:</p>
+
+     <source>si = (SummaryInformation)
+                 PropertySetFactory.create(event.getStream());</source>
+
+     <p>The expression <code>event.getStream()</code> returns the input stream
+      containing the bytes of the property set stream named
+      <em>\005SummaryInformation</em>. This stream is passed into the
+      <code>create</code> method of the factory class
+      <code>org.apache.poi.hpsf.PropertySetFactory</code> which returns
+      a <code>org.apache.poi.hpsf.PropertySet</code> instance. It is more or
+      less safe to cast this result to <code>SummaryInformation</code>, a
+      convenience class with methods like <code>getTitle()</code>,
+      <code>getAuthor()</code> etc.</p>
+
+     <p>The <code>PropertySetFactory.create</code> method may throw all sorts
+      of exceptions. We'll deal with them in the next sections. For now we just
+      catch all exceptions and throw a <code>RuntimeException</code>
+      containing the message text of the origin exception.</p>
+
+     <p>If all goes well, the sample application retrieves the title and prints
+     it to the standard output. As you can see you must be prepared for the
+      case that the POI filesystem does not have a title.</p>
+
+     <source>final String title = si.getTitle();
+if (title != null)
+    System.out.println("Title: \"" + title + "\"");
+else
+    System.out.println("Document has no title.");</source>
+
+     <p>Please note that a Microsoft Office document does not necessarily
+      contain the <em>\005SummaryInformation</em> stream. The documents created
+      by the Microsoft Office suite have one, as far as I know. However, an
+      Excel spreadsheet exported from StarOffice 5.2 won't have a
+      <em>\005SummaryInformation</em> stream. In this case the applications
+      won't throw an exception but simply does not call the
+      <code>processPOIFSReaderEvent</code> method. You have been warned!</p>
+    </section>
+   </section>
+
+   <anchor id="sec2"/>
+   <section><title>Additional Standard Properties, Exceptions And Embedded Objects</title>
+
+    <note>This section focusses on reading additional standard properties. It
+     also talks about exceptions that may be thrown when dealing with HPSF and
+     shows how you can read properties of embedded objects.</note>
+
+    <p>A couple of <strong>additional standard properties</strong> are not
+     contained in the <em>\005SummaryInformation</em> stream explained above,
+     for example a document's category or the number of multimedia clips in a
+     PowerPoint presentation. Microsoft has invented an additional stream named
+     <em>\005DocumentSummaryInformation</em> to hold these properties. With two
+     minor exceptions you can proceed exactly as described above to read the
+     properties stored in <em>\005DocumentSummaryInformation</em>:</p>
+
+    <ul>
+     <li>Instead of <em>\005SummaryInformation</em> use
+       <em>\005DocumentSummaryInformation</em> as the stream's name.</li>
+     <li>Replace all occurrences of the class
+       <code>SummaryInformation</code> by
+       <code>DocumentSummaryInformation</code>.</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p>And of course you cannot call <code>getTitle()</code> because
+     <code>DocumentSummaryInformation</code> has different query methods. See
+     the Javadoc API documentation for the details!</p>
+
+    <p>In the previous section the application simply caught all
+     <strong>exceptions</strong> and was in no way interested in any
+     details. However, a real application will likely want to know what went
+     wrong and act appropriately. Besides any IO exceptions there are three
+     HPSF resp. POI specific exceptions you should know about:</p>
+
+    <dl>
+     <dt><code>NoPropertySetStreamException</code>:</dt>
+     <dd>
+      This exception is thrown if the application tries to create a
+       <code>PropertySet</code> instance from a stream that is not a
+       property set stream. (<code>SummaryInformation</code> and
+       <code>DocumentSummaryInformation</code> are subclasses of
+       <code>PropertySet</code>.) A faulty property set stream counts as not
+       being a property set stream at all. An application should be prepared to
+       deal with this case even if it opens streams named
+       <em>\005SummaryInformation</em> or
+       <em>\005DocumentSummaryInformation</em> only. These are just names. A
+       stream's name by itself does not ensure that the stream contains the
+       expected contents and that this contents is correct.
+     </dd>
+
+     <dt><code>UnexpectedPropertySetTypeException</code></dt>
+     <dd>This exception is thrown if a certain type of property set is
+       expected somewhere (e.g. a <code>SummaryInformation</code> or
+       <code>DocumentSummaryInformation</code>) but the provided property
+       set is not of that type.</dd>
+
+     <dt><code>MarkUnsupportedException</code></dt>
+     <dd>This exception is thrown if an input stream that is to be parsed
+       into a property set does not support the
+       <code>InputStream.mark(int)</code> operation. The POI filesystem uses
+       the <code>DocumentInputStream</code> class which does support this
+       operation, so you are safe here. However, if you read a property set
+       stream from another kind of input stream things may be
+       different.</dd>
+    </dl>
+
+    <p>Many Microsoft Office documents contain <strong>embedded
+      objects</strong>, for example an Excel sheet on a page in a Word
+     document. Embedded objects may have property sets of their own. An
+     application can open these property set streams as described above. The
+     only difference is that they are not located in the POI filesystem's root
+     but in a <strong>nested directory</strong> instead. Just register a
+     <code>POIFSReaderListener</code> for the property set streams you are
+     interested in. For example, the <em>POIBrowser</em> application in the
+     contrib section tries to open each and every document in a POI filesystem
+     as a property set stream. If this operation was successful it displays the
+     properties.</p>
+   </section>
+
+   <anchor id="sec3"/>
+   <section><title>Reading Non-Standard Properties</title>
+
+    <note>This section tells how to read non-standard properties. Non-standard
+     properties are application-specific ID/type/value triples.</note>
+
+    <section><title>Overview</title>
+     <p>Now comes the real hardcode stuff. As mentioned above,
+      <code>SummaryInformation</code> and
+      <code>DocumentSummaryInformation</code> are just special cases of the
+      general concept of a property set. This concept says that a
+      <strong>property set</strong> consists of properties and that each
+      <strong>property</strong> is an entity with an <strong>ID</strong>, a
+      <strong>type</strong>, and a <strong>value</strong>.</p>
+
+     <p>Okay, that was still rather easy. However, to make things more
+      complicated, Microsoft in its infinite wisdom decided that a property set
+      shalt be broken into one or more <strong>sections</strong>. Each section
+      holds a bunch of properties. But since that's still not complicated
+      enough, a section may have an optional <strong>dictionary</strong> that
+      maps property IDs to <strong>property names</strong> - we'll explain
+      later what that means.</p>
+
+     <p>The procedure to get to the properties is the following:</p>
+
+     <ol>
+      <li>Use the <strong><code>PropertySetFactory</code></strong> class to
+       create a <code>PropertySet</code> object from a property set stream. If
+       you don't know whether an input stream is a property set stream, just
+       try to call <code>PropertySetFactory.create(java.io.InputStream)</code>:
+       You'll either get a <code>PropertySet</code> instance returned or an
+       exception is thrown.</li>
+
+      <li>Call the <code>PropertySet</code>'s method <code>getSections()</code>
+       to get the sections contained in the property set. Each section is
+       an instance of the <code>Section</code> class.</li>
+
+      <li>Each section has a format ID. The format ID of the first section in a
+       property set determines the property set's type. For example, the first
+       (and only) section of the SummaryInformation property set has a format
+       ID of <code>F29F85E0-4FF9-1068-AB-91-08-00-2B-27-B3-D9</code>. You can
+       get the format ID with <code>Section.getFormatID()</code>.</li>
+
+      <li>The properties contained in a <code>Section</code> can be retrieved
+       with <code>Section.getProperties()</code>. The result is an array of
+       <code>Property</code> instances.</li>
+
+      <li>A property has a name, a type, and a value. The <code>Property</code>
+       class has methods to retrieve them.</li>
+     </ol>
+    </section>
+
+    <section><title>A Sample Application</title>
+     <p>Let's have a look at a sample Java application that dumps all property
+      set streams contained in a POI file system. The full source code of this
+      program can be found as <em>ReadCustomPropertySets.java</em> in the
+      <em>examples</em> area of the POI source code tree. Here are the key
+      sections:</p>
+
+    <source>import java.io.*;
+import java.util.*;
+import org.apache.poi.hpsf.*;
+import org.apache.poi.poifs.eventfilesystem.*;
+import org.apache.poi.util.HexDump;</source>
+
+    <p>The most important package the application needs is
+     <code>org.apache.poi.hpsf.*</code>. This package contains the HPSF
+     classes. Most classes named below are from the HPSF package. Of course we
+     also need the POIFS event file system's classes and <code>java.io.*</code>
+     since we are dealing with POI I/O. From the <code>java.util</code> package
+     we use the <code>List</code> and <code>Iterator</code> class. The class
+     <code>org.apache.poi.util.HexDump</code> provides a methods to dump byte
+     arrays as nicely formatted strings.</p>
+
+    <source>public static void main(String[] args)
+    throws IOException
+{
+    final String filename = args[0];
+    POIFSReader r = new POIFSReader();
+
+    /* Register a listener for *all* documents. */
+    r.registerListener(new MyPOIFSReaderListener());
+    r.read(new FileInputStream(filename));
+}</source>
+
+    <p>The <code>POIFSReader</code> is set up in a way that the listener
+     <code>MyPOIFSReaderListener</code> is called on every file in the POI file
+    system.</p>
+    </section>
+
+    <section><title>The Property Set</title>
+     <p>The listener class tries to create a <code>PropertySet</code> from each
+     stream using the <code>PropertySetFactory.create()</code> method:</p>
+
+    <source>static class MyPOIFSReaderListener implements POIFSReaderListener
+{
+    public void processPOIFSReaderEvent(POIFSReaderEvent event)
+    {
+        PropertySet ps = null;
+        try
+        {
+            ps = PropertySetFactory.create(event.getStream());
+        }
+        catch (NoPropertySetStreamException ex)
+        {
+            out("No property set stream: \"" + event.getPath() +
+                event.getName() + "\"");
+            return;
+        }
+        catch (Exception ex)
+        {
+            throw new RuntimeException
+                ("Property set stream \"" +
+                 event.getPath() + event.getName() + "\": " + ex);
+        }
+
+        /* Print the name of the property set stream: */
+        out("Property set stream \"" + event.getPath() +
+            event.getName() + "\":");</source>
+
+    <p>Creating the <code>PropertySet</code> is done in a <code>try</code>
+     block, because not each stream in the POI file system contains a property
+     set. If it is some other file, the
+     <code>PropertySetFactory.create()</code> throws a
+     <code>NoPropertySetStreamException</code>, which is caught and
+     logged. Then the program continues with the next stream. However, all
+     other types of exceptions cause the program to terminate by throwing a
+     runtime exception. If all went well, we can print the name of the property
+     set stream.</p>
+    </section>
+
+    <section><title>The Sections</title>
+     <p>The next step is to print the number of sections followed by the
+     sections themselves:</p>
+
+    <source>/* Print the number of sections: */
+final long sectionCount = ps.getSectionCount();
+out("   No. of sections: " + sectionCount);
+
+/* Print the list of sections: */
+List sections = ps.getSections();
+int nr = 0;
+for (Iterator i = sections.iterator(); i.hasNext();)
+{
+    /* Print a single section: */

+
+     <p>The <code>PropertySet</code>'s method <code>getSectionCount()</code>
+      returns the number of sections.</p>
+
+     <p>To retrieve the sections, use the <code>getSections()</code>
+      method. This method returns a <code>java.util.List</code> containing
+      instances of the <code>Section</code> class in their proper order.</p>
+
+     <p>The sample code shows a loop that retrieves the <code>Section</code>
+      objects one by one and prints some information about each one. Here is
+      the complete body of the loop:</p>
+
+     <source>/* Print a single section: */
+Section sec = (Section) i.next();
+out("   Section " + nr++ + ":");
+String s = hex(sec.getFormatID().getBytes());
+s = s.substring(0, s.length() - 1);

+

+Property[] properties = sec.getProperties();
+for (int i2 = 0; i2 &lt; properties.length; i2++)
+{
+    /* Print a single property: */
+    Property p = properties[i2];
+    int id = p.getID();
+    long type = p.getType();
+    Object value = p.getValue();
+    out("      Property ID: " + id + ", type: " + type +
+        ", value: " + value);
+}</source>
+    </section>
+
+    <section><title>The Section's Format ID</title>
+     <p>The first method called on the <code>Section</code> instance is
+      <code>getFormatID()</code>. As explained above, the format ID of the
+      first section in a property set determines the type of the property
+      set. Its type is <code>ClassID</code> which is essentially a sequence of
+      16 bytes. A real application using its own type of a custom property set
+      should have defined a unique format ID and, when reading a property set
+      stream, should check the format ID is equal to that unique format ID. The
+      sample program just prints the format ID it finds in a section:</p>
+
+     <source>String s = hex(sec.getFormatID().getBytes());
+s = s.substring(0, s.length() - 1);
+out("      Format ID: " + s);</source>
+
+     <p>As you can see, the <code>getFormatID()</code> method returns a
+      <code>ClassID</code> object. An array containing the bytes can be
+      retrieved with <code>ClassID.getBytes()</code>. In order to get a nicely
+      formatted printout, the sample program uses the <code>hex()</code> helper
+      method which in turn uses the POI utility class <code>HexDump</code> in
+      the <code>org.apache.poi.util</code> package. Another helper method is
+      <code>out()</code> which just saves typing
+      <code>System.out.println()</code>.</p>
+    </section>
+
+    <section><title>The Properties</title>
+     <p>Before getting the properties, it is possible to find out how many
+      properties are available in the section via the
+      <code>Section.getPropertyCount()</code>. The sample application uses this
+      method to print the number of properties to the standard output:</p>
+
+     <source>int propertyCount = sec.getPropertyCount();
+out("      No. of properties: " + propertyCount);</source>
+
+     <p>Now its time to get to the properties themselves. You can retrieve a
+      section's properties with the method
+      <code>Section.getProperties()</code>:</p>
+
+     <source>Property[] properties = sec.getProperties();</source>
+
+     <p>As you can see the result is an array of <code>Property</code>
+      objects. This class has three methods to retrieve a property's ID, its
+      type, and its value. The following code snippet shows how to call
+      them:</p>
+
+     <source>for (int i2 = 0; i2 &lt; properties.length; i2++)
+{
+    /* Print a single property: */
+    Property p = properties[i2];
+    int id = p.getID();
+    long type = p.getType();
+    Object value = p.getValue();
+    out("      Property ID: " + id + ", type: " + type +
+        ", value: " + value);
+}</source>
+    </section>
+
+    <section><title>Sample Output</title>
+     <p>The output of the sample program might look like the following. It
+      shows the summary information and the document summary information
+      property sets of a Microsoft Word document. However, unlike the first and
+      second section of this HOW-TO the application does not have any code
+      which is specific to the <code>SummaryInformation</code> and
+      <code>DocumentSummaryInformation</code> classes.</p>

+
+     <p>There are some interesting items to note:</p>
+
+     <ul>
+      <li>The first property set (summary information) consists of a single
+       section, the second property set (document summary information) consists
+       of two sections.</li>
+
+      <li>Each section type (identified by its format ID) has its own domain of
+       property ID. For example, in the second property set the properties with
+       ID 2 have different meanings in the two section. By the way, the format
+       IDs of these sections are <strong>not</strong> equal, but you have to
+       look hard to find the difference.</li>
+
+      <li>The properties are not in any particular order in the section,
+       although they slightly tend to be sorted by their IDs.</li>
+     </ul>
+    </section>
+
+    <section><title>Property IDs</title>
+     <p>Properties in the same section are distinguished by their IDs. This is
+      similar to variables in a programming language like Java, which are
+      distinguished by their names. But unlike variable names, property IDs are
+      simple integral numbers. There is another similarity, however. Just like
+      a Java variable has a certain scope (e.g. a member variables in a class),
+      a property ID also has its scope of validity: the section.</p>
+
+     <p>Two property IDs in sections with different section format IDs
+      don't have the same meaning even though their IDs might be equal. For
+      example, ID 4 in the first (and only) section of a summary
+      information property set denotes the document's author, while ID 4 in the
+      first section of the document summary information property set means the
+      document's byte count. The sample output above does not show a property
+      with an ID of 4 in the first section of the document summary information
+      property set. That means that the document does not have a byte
+      count. However, there is a property with an ID of 4 in the
+      <em>second</em> section: This is a user-defined property ID - we'll get
+      to that topic in a minute.</p>
+
+     <p>So, how can you find out what the meaning of a certain property ID in
+      the summary information and the document summary information property set
+      is? The standard property sets as such don't have any hints about the
+      <strong>meanings of their property IDs</strong>. For example, the summary
+      information property set does not tell you that the property ID 4 stands
+      for the document's author. This is external knowledge. Microsoft defined
+      standard meanings for some of the property IDs in the summary information
+      and the document summary information property sets. As a help to the Java
+      and POI programmer, the class <code>PropertyIDMap</code> in the
+      <code>org.apache.poi.hpsf.wellknown</code> package defines constants
+      for the "well-known" property IDs. For example, there is the
+      definition</p>
+
+     <source>public final static int PID_AUTHOR = 4;</source>
+
+     <p>These definitions allow you to use symbolic names instead of
+      numbers.</p>
+
+     <p>In order to provide support for the other way, too, - i.e. to map
+      property IDs to property names - the class <code>PropertyIDMap</code>
+      defines two static methods:
+      <code>getSummaryInformationProperties()</code> and
+      <code>getDocumentSummaryInformationProperties()</code>. Both return
+      <code>java.util.Map</code> objects which map property IDs to
+      strings. Such a string gives a hint about the property's meaning. For
+      example,
+      <code>PropertyIDMap.getSummaryInformationProperties().get(4)</code>
+      returns the string "PID_AUTHOR". An application could use this string as
+      a key to a localized string which is displayed to the user, e.g. "Author"
+      in English or "Verfasser" in German. HPSF might provide such
+      language-dependend ("localized") mappings in a later release.</p>
+
+     <p>Usually you won't have to deal with those two maps. Instead you should
+      call the <code>Section.getPIDString(int)</code> method. It returns the
+      string associated with the specified property ID in the context of the
+      <code>Section</code> object.</p>
+
+     <p>Above you learned that property IDs have a meaning in the scope of a
+      section only. However, there are two exceptions to the rule: The property
+      IDs 0 and 1 have a fixed meaning in <strong>all</strong> sections:</p>
+
+     <table>
+      <tr>
+       <th>Property ID</th>
+       <th>Meaning</th>
+      </tr>
+
+      <tr>
+       <td>0</td>
+       <td>The property's value is a <strong>dictionary</strong>, i.e. a
+	mapping from property IDs to strings.</td>
+      </tr>
+
+      <tr>
+       <td>1</td>
+       <td>The property's value is the number of a <strong>codepage</strong>,
+	i.e. a mapping from character codes to characters. All strings in the
+	section containing this property must be interpreted using this
+	codepage. Typical property values are 1252 (8-bit "western" characters)
+	or 1200 (16-bit Unicode characters).</td>
+      </tr>
+     </table>
+    </section>
+
+    <section><title>Property types</title>
+     <p>A property is nothing without its value. It is stored in a property set
+      stream as a sequence of bytes. You must know the property's
+      <strong>type</strong> in order to properly interpret those bytes and
+      reasonably handle the value. A property's type is one of the so-called
+      Microsoft-defined <strong>"variant types"</strong>. When you call
+      <code>Property.getType()</code> you'll get a <code>long</code> value
+      which denoting the property's variant type. The class
+      <code>Variant</code> in the <code>org.apache.poi.hpsf</code> package
+      holds most of those <code>long</code> values as named constants. For
+      example, the constant <code>VT_I4 = 3</code> means a signed integer value
+      of four bytes. Examples of other types are <code>VT_LPSTR = 30</code>
+      meaning a null-terminated string of 8-bit characters, <code>VT_LPWSTR =
+       31</code> which means a null-terminated Unicode string, or <code>VT_BOOL
+       = 11</code> denoting a boolean value.</p>
+
+     <p>In most cases you won't need a property's type because HPSF does all
+      the work for you.</p>
+    </section>
+
+    <section><title>Property values</title>
+     <p>When an application wants to retrieve a property's value and calls
+      <code>Property.getValue()</code>, HPSF has to interpret the bytes making
+      out the value according to the property's type. The type determines how
+      many bytes the value consists of and what
+      to do with them. For example, if the type is <code>VT_I4</code>, HPSF
+      knows that the value is four bytes long and that these bytes
+      comprise a signed integer value in the little-endian format. This is
+      quite different from e.g. a type of <code>VT_LPWSTR</code>. In this case
+      HPSF has to scan the value bytes for a Unicode null character and collect
+      everything from the beginning to that null character as a Unicode
+      string.</p>
+
+     <p>The good new is that HPSF does another job for you, too: It maps the
+      variant type to an adequate Java type.</p>
+
+     <table>
+      <tr>
+       <th>Variant type:</th>
+       <th>Java type:</th>
+      </tr>
+
+      <tr>
+       <td>VT_I2</td>
+       <td>java.lang.Integer</td>
+      </tr>
+
+      <tr>
+       <td>VT_I4</td>
+       <td>java.lang.Long</td>
+      </tr>
+
+      <tr>
+       <td>VT_FILETIME</td>
+       <td>java.util.Date</td>
+      </tr>
+
+      <tr>
+       <td>VT_LPSTR</td>
+       <td>java.lang.String</td>
+      </tr>
+
+      <tr>
+       <td>VT_LPWSTR</td>
+       <td>java.lang.String</td>
+      </tr>
+
+      <tr>
+       <td>VT_CF</td>
+       <td>byte[]</td>
+      </tr>
+
+      <tr>
+       <td>VT_BOOL</td>
+       <td>java.lang.Boolean</td>
+      </tr>
+
+     </table>
+
+     <p>The bad news is that there are still a couple of variant types HPSF
+      does not yet support. If it encounters one of these types it
+      returns the property's value as a byte array and leaves it to be
+      interpreted by the application.</p>
+
+     <p>An application retrieves a property's value by calling the
+      <code>Property.getValue()</code> method. This method's return type is the
+      abstract <code>Object</code> class. The <code>getValue()</code> method
+      looks up the property's variant type, reads the property's value bytes,
+      creates an instance of an adequate Java type, assigns it the property's
+      value and returns it. Primitive types like <code>int</code> or
+      <code>long</code> will be returned as the corresponding class,
+      e.g. <code>Integer</code> or <code>Long</code>.</p>
+    </section>
+
+
+    <section><title>Dictionaries</title>
+     <p>The property with ID 0 has a very special meaning: It is a
+      <strong>dictionary</strong> mapping property IDs to property names. We
+      have seen already that the meanings of standard properties in the
+      summary information and the document summary information property sets
+      have been defined by Microsoft. The advantage is that the labels of
+      properties like "Author" or "Title" don't have to be stored in the
+      property set. However, a user can define custom fields in, say, Microsoft
+      Word. For each field the user has to specify a name, a type, and a
+      value.</p>
+
+     <p>The names of the custom-defined fields (i.e. the property names) are
+      stored in the document summary information second section's
+      <strong>dictionary</strong>. The dictionary is a map which associates
+      property IDs with property names.</p>
+
+     <p>The method <code>Section.getPIDString(int)</code> not only returns with
+      the well-known property names of the summary information and document
+      summary information property sets, but with self-defined properties,
+      too. It should also work with self-defined properties in self-defined
+      sections.</p>
+    </section>
+
+    <section><title>Codepage support</title>
+     <fixme author="Rainer Klute">Improve codepage support!</fixme>
+
+     <p>The property with ID 1 holds the number of the codepage which was used
+      to encode the strings in this section. The present HPSF codepage support
+      is still very limited: When reading property value strings, HPSF
+      distinguishes between 16-bit characters and 8-bit characters. 16-bit
+      characters should be Unicode characters and thus be okay. 8-bit
+      characters are interpreted according to the platform's default character
+      set. This is fine as long as the document being read has been written on
+      a platform with the same default character set. However, if you receive a
+      document from another region of the world and want to process it with
+      HPSF you are in trouble - unless the creator used Unicode, of course.</p>
+    </section>
+
+    <section><title>Further Reading</title>
+     <p>There are still some aspects of HSPF left which are not covered by this
+      HOW-TO. You should dig into the Javadoc API documentation to learn
+      further details. Since you've struggled through this document up to this
+      point, you are well prepared.</p>

+  <section><title>Overview</title>
+   <p>Microsoft applications like "Word", "Excel" or "Powerpoint" let the user
+    describe his document by properties like "title", "category" and so on. The
+    application itself adds further information: last author, creation date
+    etc. These document properties are stored in so-called <strong>property set
+     streams</strong>. A property set stream is a separate document within a
+    <link href="../poifs/index.html">POI filesystem</link>. We'll call property
+    set streams mostly just "property sets". HPSF is POI's pure-Java
+    implementation to read (and in future to write) property sets.</p>
+
+   <p>The <link href="how-to.html">HPSF HOWTO</link> describes what a Java
+    application should do to read a property set using HPSF and to retrieve the
+    information it needs.</p>
+
+   <p>HPSF supports OLE2 property set streams in general, and is not limited to
+    the special case of document properties in the Microsoft Office files
+    mentioned above. The <link href="internals.html">HPSF description</link>
+    describes the internal structure of property set streams. A separate

+  <section><title>The VT_CF Format</title>
+
+   <p>Thumbnail information is stored as a VT_CF, or Thumbnail Variant. The
+    Thumbnail Variant is used to store various types of information in a
+    clipboard. The VT_CF can store information in formats for the Macintosh or
+    Windows clipboard.</p>
+
+   <p>There are many types of data that can be copied to the clipboard, but the
+    only types of information needed for thumbnail manipulation are the image
+    formats.</p>
+
+   <p>The <code>VT_CF</code> structure looks like this:</p>
+
+   <table>
+    <tr>
+     <th>Element:</th>
+     <td>Clipboard Size</td>
+     <td>Clipboard Format Tag</td>
+     <td>Clipboard Data</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+     <th>Size:</th>
+     <td>32 bit unsigned integer (DWord)</td>
+     <td>32 bit signed integer (DWord)</td>
+     <td>variable length (byte array)</td>
+    </tr>
+   </table>
+
+   <p>The Clipboard Size refers to the size (in bytes) of Clipboard Data
+    (variable size) plus the Clipboard Format (four bytes).</p>
+
+   <p>Clipboard Format Tag has four possible values:</p>
+
+   <table>
+    <tr>
+     <th>Value</th>
+     <th>Identifier</th>
+     <th>Description</th>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+     <td><code>-1L</code></td>
+     <td><code>CFTAG_WINDOWS</code></td>
+     <td>a built-in Windows&copy; clipboard format value</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+     <td><code>-2L</code></td>
+     <td><code>CFTAG_MACINTOSH</code></td>
+     <td>a Macintosh clipboard format value</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+     <td><code>-3L</code></td>
+     <td><code>CFTAG_FMTID</code></td>
+     <td>a format identifier (FMTID) This is rarely used.</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+     <td><code>0L</code></td>
+     <td><code>CFTAG_NODATA</code></td>
+     <td>No data This is rarely used.</td>
+    </tr>
+   </table>
+  </section>
+
+
+
+  <section><title>Windows Clipboard Data</title>
+
+   <p>Windows clipboard data has four image formats for thumbnails:</p>
+
+   <table>
+    <tr>
+     <th>Value</th>
+     <th>Identifier</th>
+     <th>Description</th>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+     <td>3</td>
+     <td><code>CF_METAFILEPICT</code></td>
+     <td>Windows metafile format - recommended</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+     <td>8</td>
+     <td><code>CF_DIB</code></td>
+     <td>Device Independent Bitmap</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+     <td>14</td>
+     <td><code>CF_ENHMETAFILE</code></td>
+     <td>Enhanced Windows metafile format</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+     <td>2</td>
+     <td><code>CF_BITMAP</code></td>
+     <td>Bitmap - Obsolete - Use <code>CF_DIB</code> instead</td>
+    </tr>
+   </table>
+  </section>
+
+  <section><title>Windows Metafile Format</title>
+
+   <p>The most common format for thumbnails on the Windows platform is the
+    Windows metafile format. The Clipboard places and extra header in front of
+    a the standard Windows Metafile Format data.</p>
+
+   <p>The Clipboard Data byte array looks like this when an image is stored in
+    Windows' Clipboard WMF format.</p>
+
+   <table>
+    <tr>
+     <th>Identifier</th>
+     <td>CF_METAFILEPICT</td>
+     <td>mm</td>
+     <td>width</td>

+
+   <p>The following functionalities should be added to HPFS:</p>
+
+   <ol>
+    <li>
+     Add writing capability for property sets. Presently property sets can
+      be read only.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+     Add codepage support: Presently the bytes making out the string in a
+      property's value are interpreted using the platform's default character
+      set.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Add resource bundles to
+      <code>org.apache.poi.hpsf.wellknown</code> to ease
+      localizations. This would be useful for mapping standard property IDs to
+      localized strings. Example: The property ID 4 could be mapped to "Author"
+      in English or "Verfasser" in German.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+     Implement reading functionality for those property types that are not
+      yet supported. HPSF should return proper Java types instead of just byte
+      arrays.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+     Add WMF to <code>java.awt.Image</code> example code in <link
+     href="thumbnails.html">Thumbnail
+     HOW TO</link>.

+                that can be edited are preferrable, but lets face it, there aren't too 
+                many good affordable UML tools yet!  And no they don't HAVE to be UML...
+                just useful.

+                    <strong> setCellFormula(&quot;formulaString&quot;) </strong> is used to add a formula to sheet and

+                We aim to support the complete excel grammer for formulas. Thus, the string that you pass in

+                that you should NOT add a "=" to the front of the string.

+
+        <section><title>Capabilities</title>
+            <p>This release of the how-to outlines functionality for the CVS HEAD.
+            Those looking for information on previous releases should
+            look in the documentation distributed with that release.</p>
+            <p>
+              This release allows numeric and string cell values to be written to
+              or read from an XLS file as well as reading and writing dates. Also
+              in this release is row and column sizing, cell styling (bold,
+              italics, borders,etc), and support for both built-in and user 
+	      defined data formats.  New
+              to this release is an event-based API for reading XLS files.
+              It differs greatly from the read/write API
+              and is intended for intermediate developers who need a smaller
+              memory footprint.  It will also serve as the basis for the HSSF
+              Generator.</p>

+        <section><title>User API</title>
+                <section><title>Writing a new one</title>
+
+                    <p>The high level API (package: org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel)
+                    is what most people should use. Usage is very simple.
+                    </p>
+                    <p>Workbooks are created by creating an instance of
+                    org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook.
+                    </p>
+                    <p>Sheets are created by calling createSheet() from an existing
+                    instance of HSSFWorkbook, the created sheet is automatically added in
+                    sequence to the workbook. Sheets do not in themselves have a sheet
+                    name (the tab at the bottom); you set
+                    the name associated with a sheet by calling
+                    HSSFWorkbook.setSheetName(sheetindex,&quot;SheetName&quot;,encoding).
+                    The name may be in 8bit format (HSSFWorkbook.ENCODING_COMPRESSED_UNICODE)
+                    or Unicode (HSSFWorkbook.ENCODING_UTF_16). Default encoding is 8bit per char.
+                    </p>
+                    <p>Rows are created by calling createRow(rowNumber) from an existing
+                    instance of HSSFSheet. Only rows that have cell values should be
+                    added to the sheet. To set the row's height, you just call
+                    setRowHeight(height) on the row object. The height must be given in
+                    twips, or 1/20th of a point. If you prefer, there is also a
+                    setRowHeightInPoints method.
+                    </p>
+                    <p>Cells are created by calling createCell(column, type) from an
+                    existing HSSFRow. Only cells that have values should be added to the
+                    row. Cells should have their cell type set to either
+                    HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_NUMERIC or HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_STRING depending on
+                    whether they contain a numeric or textual value. Cells must also have
+                    a value set. Set the value by calling setCellValue with either a
+                    String or double as a parameter. Individual cells do not have a
+                    width; you must call setColumnWidth(colindex, width) (use units of
+                    1/256th of a character) on the HSSFSheet object. (You can't do it on
+                    an individual basis in the GUI either).</p>
+                    <p>Cells are styled with HSSFCellStyle objects which in turn contain
+                    a reference to an HSSFFont object. These are created via the
+                    HSSFWorkbook object by calling createCellStyle() and createFont().
+                    Once you create the object you must set its parameters (colors,
+                    borders, etc). To set a font for an HSSFCellStyle call
+                    setFont(fontobj).
+                    </p>
+                    <p>Once you have generated your workbook, you can write it out by
+                    calling write(outputStream) from your instance of Workbook, passing
+                    it an OutputStream (for instance, a FileOutputStream or
+                    ServletOutputStream). You must close the OutputStream yourself. HSSF
+                    does not close it for you.
+                    </p>

+
+<p>Reading in a file is equally simple. To read in a file, create a
+new instance of org.apache.poi.poifs.Filesystem, passing in an open InputStream, such as a FileInputStream
+for your XLS, to the constructor. Construct a new instance of
+org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.HSSFWorkbook passing the
+Filesystem instance to the constructor. From there you have access to
+all of the high level model objects through their assessor methods
+(workbook.getSheet(sheetNum), sheet.getRow(rownum), etc).
+</p>
+<p>Modifying the file you have read in is simple. You retrieve the
+object via an assessor method, remove it via a parent object's remove
+method (sheet.removeRow(hssfrow)) and create objects just as you
+would if creating a new xls. When you are done modifying cells just
+call workbook.write(outputstream) just as you did above.</p>

+
+                    <p>The event API is brand new.  It is intended for intermediate
+                    developers who are willing to learn a little bit of the low level API
+                    structures.  Its relatively simple to use, but requires a basic
+                    understanding of the parts of an Excel file (or willingness to
+                    learn).  The advantage provided is that you can read an XLS with a
+                    relatively small memory footprint.
+                    </p>
+                    <p>To use this API you construct an instance of
+                    org.apache.poi.hssf.eventmodel.HSSFRequest. Register a class you
+                    create that supports the
+                    org.apache.poi.hssf.eventmodel.HSSFListener interface using the
+                    HSSFRequest.addListener(yourlistener, recordsid).  The recordsid
+                    should be a static reference number (such as BOFRecord.sid) contained
+                    in the classes in org.apache.poi.hssf.record.  The trick is you
+                    have to know what these records are.  Alternatively you can call
+                    HSSFRequest.addListenerForAllRecords(mylistener).  In order to learn
+                    about these records you can either read all of the javadoc in the
+                    org.apache.poi.hssf.record package or you can just hack up a
+                    copy of org.apache.poi.hssf.dev.EFHSSF and adapt it to your
+                    needs.  TODO: better documentation on records.</p>
+                    <p>Once you've registered your listeners in the HSSFRequest object
+                    you can construct an instance of
+                    org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.FileSystem (see POIFS howto) and
+                    pass it your XLS file inputstream.  You can either pass this, along
+                    with the request you constructed, to an instance of HSSFEventFactory
+                    via the HSSFEventFactory.processWorkbookEvents(request, Filesystem)
+                    method, or you can get an instance of DocumentInputStream from
+                    Filesystem.createDocumentInputStream(&quot;Workbook&quot;) and pass
+                    it to HSSFEventFactory.processEvents(request, inputStream).  Once you
+                    make this call, the listeners that you constructed receive calls to
+                    their processRecord(Record) methods with each Record they are
+                    registered to listen for until the file has been completely read.
+                    </p>
+                    <p>A code excerpt from org.apache.poi.hssf.dev.EFHSSF (which is

+                <section><title>Low Level APIs</title>
+
+<p>The low level API is not much to look at. It consists of lots of
+&quot;Records&quot; in the org.apache.poi.hssf.record.* package,
+and set of helper classes in org.apache.poi.hssf.model.*. The
+record classes are consistent with the low level binary structures
+inside a BIFF8 file (which is embedded in a POIFS file system). You
+probably need the book: &quot;Microsoft Excel 97 Developer's Kit&quot;
+from Microsoft Press in order to understand how these fit together
+(out of print but easily obtainable from Amazon's used books). In
+order to gain a good understanding of how to use the low level APIs
+should view the source in org.apache.poi.hssf.usermodel.* and
+the classes in org.apache.poi.hssf.model.*. You should read the
+documentation for the POIFS libraries as well.</p>
+     </section>
+                <section><title>HSSF Class/Test Application</title>
+
+<p>The HSSF application is nothing more than a test for the high
+level API (and indirectly the low level support). The main body of
+its code is repeated above. To run it:
+</p>
+<ul>
+    <li>download the poi-alpha build and untar it (tar xvzf
+    tarball.tar.gz)
+    </li>
+    <li>set up your classpath as follows:
+    <code>export HSSFDIR={wherever you put HSSF's jar files}
+export LOG4JDIR={wherever you put LOG4J's jar files}
+export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$HSSFDIR/hssf.jar:$HSSFDIR/poi-poifs.jar:$HSSFDIR/poi-util.jar:$LOG4JDIR/jog4j.jar</code>
+    </li><li>type:
+    <code>java org.apache.poi.hssf.dev.HSSF ~/myxls.xls write</code></li>
+</ul>
+<p></p>
+<p>This should generate a test sheet in your home directory called <code>&quot;myxls.xls&quot;</code>.  </p>
+<ul>
+    <li>Type:
+    <code>java org.apache.poi.hssf.dev.HSSF ~/input.xls output.xls</code>
+    <br/>
+    <br/>
+This is the read/write/modify test.  It reads in the spreadsheet, modifies a cell, and writes it back out.
+Failing this test is not necessarily a bad thing.  If HSSF tries to modify a non-existant sheet then this will
+most likely fail.  No big deal.  </li>
+</ul>
+     </section>
+    <section><title>Logging facility</title>
+        <p>Poi can dynamically select it's logging implementation. Poi trys to
+        create a logger using the System property named "org.apache.poi.util.POILogger".
+        Out of the box this can be set to one of three values:
+        </p>
+        <ul>
+           <li>org.apache.poi.util.CommonsLogger</li>
+           <li>org.apache.poi.util.NullLogger</li>
+           <li>org.apache.poi.util.SystemOutLogger</li>
+        </ul>
+        <p>
+        If the property is not defined or points to an invalid classthen the NullLogger is used.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+        Refer to the commons logging package level javadoc for more information concerning how to
+        <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/api/index.html">configure commons logging.</link>

+    <section><title>HSSF Developer's Tools</title>
+
+<p>HSSF has a number of tools useful for developers to debug/develop
+stuff using HSSF (and more generally XLS files). We've already
+discussed the app for testing HSSF read/write/modify capabilities;
+now we'll talk a bit about BiffViewer. Early on in the development of
+HSSF, it was decided that knowing what was in a record, what was
+wrong with it, etc. was virtually impossible with the available
+tools. So we developed BiffViewer. You can find it at
+org.apache.poi.hssf.dev.BiffViewer. It performs two basic
+functions and a derivative.
+</p>
+<p>The first is &quot;biffview&quot;. To do this you run it (assumes
+you have everything setup in your classpath and that you know what
+you're doing enough to be thinking about this) with an xls file as a
+parameter. It will give you a listing of all understood records with
+their data and a list of not-yet-understood records with no data
+(because it doesn't know how to interpret them). This listing is
+useful for several things. First, you can look at the values and SEE
+what is wrong in quasi-English. Second, you can send the output to a
+file and compare it.
+</p>
+<p>The second function is &quot;big freakin dump&quot;, just pass a
+file and a second argument matching &quot;bfd&quot; exactly. This
+will just make a big hexdump of the file.
+</p>
+<p>Lastly, there is &quot;mixed&quot; mode which does the same as
+regular biffview, only it includes hex dumps of certain records
+intertwined. To use that just pass a file with a second argument
+matching &quot;on&quot; exactly.</p>
+<p>In the next release cycle we'll also have something called a
+FormulaViewer. The class is already there, but its not very useful
+yet. When it does something, we'll document it.</p>
+
+     </section>
+                <section><title>What's Next?</title>
+
+<p>This release contains code that supports &quot;internationalization&quot;
+or more accurately non-US/UK languages; however, it has not been
+tested with the new API changes (please help us with this). We've
+shifted focus a bit for this release in recognition of the
+international support we've gotten. We're going to focus on western
+European languages for our first beta. We're more than happy to
+accept help in supporting non-Western European languages if someone
+who knows what they're doing in this area is willing to pitch in!
+(There is next to no documentation on what is necessary to support
+such a move and its really hard to support a language when you don't even
+know the alphabet).</p>
+<p>This release of HSSF does not yet support Formulas. I've been
+focusing on the requests I've gotten in. That being said, if we get
+more user feedback on what is most useful first we'll aim for that.
+As a general principal, HSSF's goal is to support HSSF-Serializer
+(meaning an emphasis on write). We would like to hear from you! How
+are you using HSSF/POIFS? How would you like to use it? What features
+are most important first?

+ <section><title>Overview</title>
+
+  <p>HSSF is the POI Project's pure Java implementation of the Excel '97(-2002) file format.</p>
+  <p>HSSF provides a way to read spreadsheets create, modify, read and write XLS spreadsheets
+     It provides: 
+  </p>
+  <ul>
+        <li>low level structures for those with special needs</li>
+        <li>an eventmodel api for efficient read-only access</li>
+        <li>a full usermodel api for creating, reading and modifying XLS files</li>
+  </ul>
+  <p>
+        Truth be told there is probably a better way to generate your spreadsheet
+        generation (yet you'll still be using HSSF indirectly).  At the time of
+        this writing we're in the process of moving the HSSF Serializer over to 
+        the <link href="http://xml.apache.org/cocoon">Apache Cocoon
+        Project</link>.  With Cocoon you can serialize any XML datasource (of
+        which might be a ESQL page outputting in SQL for instance) by simply 
+        applying the stylesheet and designating the serializer.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+        If you're merely reading spreadsheet data, then use the eventmodel api
+        in the org.apache.poi.hssf.eventmodel package.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+        If you're modifying spreadsheet data then use the usermodel api.  You
+        can also generate spreadsheets this way, but using Cocoon (which will do
+        it this way indirectly) is the best way...we promise.

+                feature of HSSF, rather it's purpose is to provide a broad feel for some of the
+                functionality that is missing or broken.
+            </p>
+            <ul>
+                <li>
+                    Charts<br/><br/>
+                    You can not currently create charts.  This is planned for the 2.0 release.  You can
+                    however create a chart in Excel, modify the chart data values using HSSF and write
+                    a new spreadsheet out.  This is possible because POI attempts to keep existing records
+                    intact as far as possible.<br/><br/>
+                </li>
+                <li>
+                    Rich Text<br/><br/>
+                    HSSF does not support rich text cells.  Rich text cells are
+                    cells that have multiple fonts and styles in the once cell.  Any attempt to read
+                    a spreadsheet that has rich text cells will throw an exception.  This feature may
+                    be supported in the future but it is not currently planned.  Patches are welcome.<br/><br/>

+                <li>
+                    Outlines<br/><br/>
+                    It is not yet possible to create outlines.  Reading a spreadsheet with outlines
+                    may work correctly but has not been tested.  Write support for outlines may

+                    Macros<br/><br/>
+                    Macros can not be created.  The are currently no plans to support macros.  Reading
+                    workbooks containing macros is supported but attempting to write those workbooks
+                    will fail.  This is because macros are stored as extra file sytems within the
+                    compound document, and these are not currently kept when the file is rewritten.<br/><br/>

+                    <p>
+                        There are two types of panes you can create; freeze panes and split panes.
+                    </p>
+                    <p>
+                        A freeze pane is split by columns and rows.  You create
+                        a freeze pane using the following mechanism:
+                    </p>
+                    <p>
+                            sheet1.createFreezePane( 3, 2, 3, 2 );
+                    </p>
+                    <p>
+                        The first two parameters are the columns and rows you
+                        wish to split by.  The second two parameters indicate
+                        the cells that are visible in the bottom right quadrant.
+                    </p>
+                    <p>
+
+                        Split pains appear differently.  The split area is
+                        divided into four separate work area's.  The split
+                        occurs at the pixel level and the user is able to
+                        adjust the split by dragging it to a new position.
+                    </p>
+                    <p>
+
+                        Split panes are created with the following call:
+                    </p>
+                    <p>
+                            sheet2.createSplitPane( 2000, 2000, 0, 0, HSSFSheet.PANE_LOWER_LEFT );
+                    </p>
+                    <p>
+
+                        The first parameter is the x position of the split.
+                        This is in 1/20th of a point.  A point in this case
+                        seems to equate to a pixel.  The second parameter is
+                        the y position of the split.  Again in 1/20th of a point.
+                    </p>
+                    <p>
+                        The last parameter indicates which pane currently has
+                        the focus.  This will be one of HSSFSheet.PANE_LOWER_LEFT,
+                        PANE_LOWER_RIGHT, PANE_UPPER_RIGHT or PANE_UPPER_LEFT.

+    <section><title>How to Use the Record Generator</title>
+
+    <section><title>History</title>
+        <p>
+        The record generator was born from frustration with translating
+        the Excel records to Java classes.  Doing this manually is a time
+        consuming process.  It's also very easy to make mistakes.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+        A utility was needed to take the defintition of what a
+        record looked like and do all the boring and repetitive work.
+        </p>
+    </section>
+
+    <section><title>Capabilities</title>
+    <p>
+        The record generator takes XML as input and produces the following
+        output:
+    </p>
+    <ul>
+        <li>A Java file capabile of decoding and encoding the record.</li>
+        <li>A test class that provides a fill-in-the-blanks implementation
+            of a test case for ensuring the record operates as
+            designed.</li>
+    </ul>
+    </section>
+    <section><title>Usage</title>
+        <p>
+            The record generator is invoked as an Ant target
+            (generate-records).  It goes through looking for all files in
+            <code>src/records/defintitions</code> ending with _record.xml.
+            It then creates two files; the Java record definition and the
+            Java test case template.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+            The records themselves have the following general layout:
+        </p>

+            The Java records are regenerated each time the record generator is 
+            run, however the test stubs are only created if the test stub does 
+            not already exist.  What this means is that you may change test 
+            stubs but not the generated records.

+    <section><title>Custom Field Types</title>
+        <p>
+            Occationally the builtin types are not enough.  More control
+            over the encoding and decoding of the streams is required.  This
+            can be achieved using a custom type.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+            A custom type lets you escape to java to define the way in which
+            the field encodes and decodes.  To code a custom type you
+            declare your field like this:
+        </p>
+        <source><![CDATA[
+    <field type="custom:org.apache.poi.hssf.record.LinkedDataFormulaField"
+        size="var" name="formula of link" description="formula"/>
+        ]]></source>
+        <p>
+            Where the class name specified after <code>custom:</code> is a
+            class implementing the interface <code>CustomField</code>.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+            You can then implement the encoding yourself.
+        </p>
+    </section>
+    <section><title>How it Works</title>
+        <p>
+            The record generation works by taking an XML file and styling it 
+            using XLST.  Given that XSLT is a little limited in some ways it was 
+            necessary to add a little Java code to the mix.   
+        </p>
+        <p>
+            See record.xsl, record_test.xsl, FieldIterator.java, 
+            RecordUtil.java, RecordGenerator.java
+        </p>
+        <p>
+            There is a corresponding &quot;type&quot; generator for HDF.
+            See the HDF documentation for details.
+        </p>
+    </section>
+    <section><title>Limitations</title>
+        <p>
+            The record generator does not handle all possible record types and
+            goes not intend to perform this function.  When dealing with a
+            non-standard record sometimes the cost-benifit of coding the
+            record by hand will be greater than attempting modify the
+            generator.  The main point of the record generator is to save
+            time, so keep that in mind.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+            Currently the the XSL file that generates the record calls out to 
+            Java objects.  The Java code for the record generation is
+            currently quite messy with minimal comments.

+    <section><title>Purpose</title>
+      <p>
+      The POI project consists of APIs for manipulating various file formats
+      based upon Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document format using pure Java.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+      OLE 2 Compound Document Format based files include most Microsoft Office
+      files such as XLS and DOC.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+         As a general policy we try to collaborate as much as possible with other projects to
+         provide this functionality.  Examples include: <link href="http://xml.apache.org/cocoon">Cocoon</link> for
+         which you'll soon find generators and serializers for our projects;
+         <link href="http://www.openoffice.org">Open Office.org</link> with whom we collaborate in documenting the
+         XLS format; and <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene">Lucene</link> for which we'll soon have file
+         format interpretors.  When practical, we donate components directly to those projects for POI-enabling them.
+      </p>
+      <section><title>Why/when would I use POI?</title>
+        <p>
+ 		We'll tackle this on a component level. POI refers to the whole project.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+		So why should you use POIFS or HSSF?
+        </p>
+        <p>
+		You'd use POIFS if you had a document written in OLE 2 Compound Document Format, probably written using
+		MFC, that you needed to read in Java. Alternatively, you'd use POI to write OLE 2 Compound Document Format
+		if you needed to inter-operate with software running on the Windows platform. We are not just bragging when
+		we say that POIFS is the most complete and correct port of this file format to date!
+        </p>
+        <p>
+		You'd use HSSF if you needed to read or write an XLS (Excel) file using Java. You can also read and modify
+		spreadsheets using this API, although right now writing is more mature.
+        </p>
+      </section>
+
+      <section><title>What does POI stand for?</title>
+        <p>
+		POI stands for Poor Obfuscation Implementation. Why would we name our project such a derogatory name? Well,
+		Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document Format is a poorly conceived thing. It is essentially an archive structured
+		much like the old DOS FAT filesystem. Redmond chose, instead of using tar, gzip, zip or arc, to invent their own
+		archive format that does not provide any standard encryption or compression, is not very appendable and is prone
+		to fragmentation.
+        </p>
+      <p>
+		Poi is also a Hawaiian delicacy that <link href="http://www.m-w.com">Merriam Webster's dictionary</link> defines as:
+		"A Hawaiian food of taro root cooked, pounded, and kneaded to a paste and often allowed to ferment." This seemed
+		strangely descriptive of the file format.
+        </p>
+      <p>
+		So if you like acronyms, then POI is an acronym.  If you hate them, then we just used the name of the food for our
+		project.  If you wish to signify your love or hate for acronyms, use POI or Poi to refer to the project respectively.
+      </p>

+    <section><title>Components To Date</title>
+        <section><title>Overview</title>
+	     <p>A common misconception is that POI writes Excel files.  POI is the name of the project.  POI contains several
+             components, one of which, HSSF, writes Excel files.  The following are components of the entire POI project
+             and a brief summary of their purpose.</p>
+        </section>
+        <section><title>POIFS (POI Filesystem)</title>
+             <p>POIFS is the oldest and most stable part of the project.  It is our port of the OLE 2 Compound Document Format to
+             pure Java.  It supports both read and write functionality.  All of our components ultimately rely on it by
+             definition.  Please see <link href="./poifs/index.html">the POIFS project page</link> for more information.</p>
+        </section>
+        <section><title>HSSF (Horrible Spreadsheet Format)</title>
+             <p>HSSF is our port of the Microsoft Excel 97(-2002) file format (BIFF8) to pure Java.  It supports read and write
+             capability.  Please see <link href="./hssf/index.html">the HSSF project page</link> for more information.</p>
+        </section>
+        <section><title>HDF (Horrible Document Format)</title>
+             <p>HDF is our port of the Microsoft Word 97 file format to pure Java.  It supports read and write capability.
+             Please see <link href="./hdf/index.html">the HDF project page for more information</link>.  This component is
+             in the early stages of design.  Jump in!</p>
+        </section>
+        <section><title>HPSF (Horrible Property Set Format)</title>
+	<p>HPSF is our port of the OLE 2 property set format to pure
+	  Java. Property sets are mostly use to store a document's properties
+	  (title, author, date of last modification etc.), but they can be used
+	  for application-specific purposes as well. Currently HPSF supports
+	  read functionality only. Please see <link
+	    href="./hpsf/index.html">the HPSF project page</link> for more
+	  information.</p>
+        </section>
+
+     </section>
+
+    <section><title>What happened to the HSSF Serializer?</title>
+	<p>The HSSF Serializer, which was part of our 1.0 release and last builds on
+        <link href="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/poi">Sourceforge</link>, has been donated to the
+        <link href="http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/">Cocoon</link> project, and is available starting from version
+        2.0.2.</p>
+    </section>
+
+    <section><title>Contributing </title>
+        <p>
+		So you'd like to contribute to the project? Great! We need enthusiastic, hard-working, talented folks to help
+		us on the project in several areas. The first is bug reports and feature requests! The second is documentation -
+		we'll be at your every beck and call if you've got a critique or you'd like to contribute or otherwise improve
+		the documentation. We could especially use some help documenting the HSSF file format! Last, but not least, we
+		could use some binary crunching Java coders to chew through the convolution that characterizes Microsoft's file
+		formats and help us port new ones to a superior Java platform!
+        </p>
+        <p>So if you're motivated, ready, and have the time, join the mail lists and we'll be happy to help you get started on the
+           project!

+ <section><title>Preface</title>
+        <p> 
+		(21-Jan-02) While this document is just full of useful project 
+		introductory information and I do suggest those interested in getting
+		involved in the project read it, it is woefully out of date.
+	</p>
+	<p>
+		We deliberately allowed this document to run out of date because it 
+		is a good reflection of what the original vision was for POI 1.0.
+		You'll note that some of the terminology is not used in quite the same 
+		way any longer.  I've made some minor corrections where reading this
+		confused me.  An example: in some places this document may refer to
+		POI API instead of POIFS API.  When this vision was written we had 
+		an incomplete understanding of the project.  
+	</p>
+	<p>
+		Lastly, the scope of the project expanded dramatically near the end 
+		of the 1.0 cycle.  Our vision at the time was to focus merely on the
+		Excel port (having no idea how the project would grow or be received)
+		and provide the OLE 2 Compound Document port for others to port later
+		formats.  We now plan to spearhead these ports under the umbrella of 
+		the POI project.  So, you've been warned.  Read on, but just realize
+		that we had a fuzzy view of things to come, and hindsight is 20-20.
+	</p>
+	<p>
+		If I recall major holes were: a complete understanding of the format 
+		of OLE 2 Compound Document format, Excel file format, and exactly how
+		Cocoon 2 Serializers worked.  (that just about covers the whole range
+		huh?)
+	</p>
+ </section>
+
+ <section><title>1. Introduction</title>
+  <section><title>1.1 Purpose of this document</title>
+	<p>
+		The purpose of this document is to
+		collect, analyze and define high-level requirements, user needs and
+		features of the HSSF Serializer for Cocoon 2 and related libraries.
+		The HSSF Serializer is a java class supporting the Serializer
+		interface from the Cocoon 2 project and outputting in a compatible
+		format of that used by the spreadsheet program Microsoft Excel '97.
+		The HSSF Serializer will be responsible for converting XML
+		spreadsheet-like documents into Excel-compatible XLS spreadsheets.
+	</p>
+  </section>
+  
+
+  <section><title>1.2 Project Overview</title>
+	<p>
+		Many web apps today hit a brick wall
+		when it comes to the user request that they be able to easily
+		manipulate their reports and data extracts in the popular Microsoft
+		Excel spreadsheet format. This often causes inferior technologies to be
+		chosen for the project simply because they easily support this
+		format. This project seeks to extend existing XML, Java and Apache
+		Cocoon 2 project technologies by: 	  
+	</p>
+	
+		<ul>
+			<li>
+				providing an extensible library
+				(POIFS) which reads/writes in a compatable format to OLE 2 Compound
+				Document Format (aka Structured Storage Format) for easy
+			  	implementation of other document types;
+			</li>
+			<li>
+				providing a library (HSSF) for
+				manipulating spreadsheet data and outputting it in a compatible
+				format to Microsoft Excel XLS format;
+			</li>
+			<li>
+				and providing a Cocoon 2
+				Serializer (HSSFSerializer) for serializing XML documents as
+				Excel-compatible spreadsheets.
+			</li>
+		</ul>
+	
+  </section>
+ </section>
+ <section><title>2. User Description</title>
+   <section><title>2.1 User/Market Demographics</title>
+	<p>
+		There are a number of enthusiastic
+		users of XML, UNIX and Java technology. Secondly, the Microsoft
+		solution for outputting Office Document formats often involves
+		actually manipulating the software as an OLE Server. This method
+		provides extremely low performance, extremely high overhead and is
+		only capable of handling one document at a time.
+	</p>
+	<ol>
+		<li>
+		Our intended audience for the HSSF
+		Serializer portion of this project are developers writing reports or
+		data extracts in XML format. 
+		</li>
+		<li>
+		Our intended audience for the HSSF
+		library portion of this project is ourselves as we are developing
+		the Serializer and anyone who needs to write to Excel spreadsheets
+		in a non-XML Java environment or who has specific needs not
+		addressed by the Serializer.
+		</li>
+		<li>
+		Our intended audience for the
+		&quot;POIFS&quot; OLE 2 Compound Document format reader/writer is
+		ourselves as we are writing the HSSF library and secondly, anyone
+		wishing to provide other libraries for reading/writing OLE 2
+		Compound Document Format in Java.
+		</li>
+	</ol>
+   </section>
+   <section><title>2.2. User environment</title>
+	<p>
+		The users of this software shall be
+		developers in a Java environment on any Operating System or power
+		users who are capable of XML document generation/deployment.		
+	</p>
+   </section>
+   <section><title>2.3. Key User Needs</title>
+	<p>
+		The OLE 2 Compound Document format is
+		undocumented for all practical purposes and cryptic for all
+		impractical purposes. Developer needs in this area include
+		documentation and an easy to use library for reading and writing in
+		this format without requiring the developer to have intimate
+		knowledge of the format. 		
+	</p>
+	<p>
+		There is currently no good way to write
+		to Microsoft Excel documents from Java or from a non-Microsoft
+		Windows based platform for that matter. Developers need an easy to
+		use library that supports a reasonable feature set and allows
+		seperation of data from formatting/stylistic concerns.
+	</p>
+	<p>
+		There is currently no good way to
+		transform XML data to Microsoft Excel. Apache's Cocoon 2 project
+		supplies a complete framework for XML, but nothing for outputting in
+		Excel's XLS format. Developers and power users alike need a simple
+		method to output XML documents to Excel through server-side
+		processing.
+	</p>
+	
+
+   </section>
+   <section><title>2.4. Alternatives and Competition</title>
+	<p>
+        Originally there weren't any decent <link href="../hssf/alternatives.html">alternatives</link> for reading or writing
+        to Excel.  This has changed somewhat.
+	</p>
+   </section>
+ </section>
+ <section><title>3. Project Overview</title>
+   <section><title>3.1. Project Perspective</title>
+	<p>
+		The produced code shall be licensed by
+		the Apache License as used by the Cocoon 2 project and maintained on
+		a project page until such time as the Cocoon 2 developers accept it
+		as a donation (at which time the copyright will be turned over to
+		them).	
+	</p>
+   </section>
+   <section><title>3.2. Project Position Statement</title>
+	<p>
+		For developers on a Java and/or XML
+		environment this project will provide all the tools necessary for
+		outputting XML data in the Microsoft Excel format. This project seeks
+		to make the use of Microsoft Windows based servers unnecessary for
+		file format considerations and to fully document the OLE 2 Compound
+		Document format. The project aims not only to provide the tools for
+		serializing XML to Excel's file format and the tools for writing to
+		that file format from Java, but also to provide the tools for later
+		projects to convert other OLE 2 Compound Document formats to pure
+		Java APIs.

+        <p>
+                This is the POI 2.0 cycle vision document.  Although the vision
+                has not changed and this document is certainly not out of date and 
+                the vision has not changed, the structure of the project has
+                changed a bit.  We're not going to change the vision document to
+                reflect this (however proper that may be) because it would only
+                involve deletion.  There is no purpose in providing less
+                information provided we give clarification.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+                This document was created before the POI components for 
+                <link href="http://xml.apache.org/cocoon">Apache Cocoon</link> 
+                were accepted into the Cocoon project itself.  It was also
+                written before POI was accepted into Jakarta.  So while the
+                vision hasn't changed some of the components are actually now
+                part of other projects.  We'll still be working on them on the
+                same timeline roughly (minus the overhead of coordination with
+                other groups), but they are no longer technically part of the
+                POI project itself.

+  <section><title>1.1 Purpose of this document</title>
+	<p>
+                The purpose of this document is to
+                collect, analyze and define high-level requirements, user needs, 
+                and features of the second release of the POI project software. 
+                The POI project currently consists of the following components: 
+                the HSSF Serializer, the HSSF library and the POIFS library.
+	</p>
+        <ul>
+	        <li>
+                        The HSSF Serializer is a set of Java classes whose main 
+                        class supports the Serializer interface from the Cocoon 
+                        2 project and outputs the serialized data in a format 
+                        compatible with the spreadsheet program Microsoft Excel 
+                        '97.
+                </li>
+	        <li>
+                        The HSSF library is a set of classes for reading and 
+                        writing Microsoft Excel 97 file format using pure Java.
+                </li>
+	        <li>
+                        The POIFS library is a set of classes for reading and 
+                        writing Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document format using 
+                        pure Java.
+                </li>
+        </ul>  
+        <p>By the completion of this release cycle the POI project will also
+        include the HSSF Generator and the HDF library.
+        </p>
+        <ul>
+	        <li>The HSSF Generator will be responsible for using HSSF to read
+	        in the XLS (Excel 97) file format and create SAX events. The HSSF
+	        Generator will support the applicable interfaces specified by the
+	        Apache Cocoon 2 project.
+                </li>
+	        <li>The HDF library will provide a set of high level interfaces
+	        for reading and writing Microsoft Word 97 file format using pure
+	        Java.</li>

+        <p>
+                The first release of the POI project
+                was an astounding success. This release seeks to build on that
+                success by:
+        </p>
+        <ul>
+                <li>
+                        Refactoring POIFS into imput and
+                        output classes as well as an event-driven API for reading.
+                </li>
+                <li>
+                        Refactor HSSF for greater
+	                performance as well as an event-driven API for reading
+                </li>
+                <li>
+                        Extend HSSF by adding the ability to read and write formulas.
+                </li>
+	        <li>
+                        Extend HSSF by adding the ability to read and write 
+                        user-defined styles.
+                </li>
+	        <li>
+                        Create a Cocoon 2 Generator for HSSF using the same tags 
+                        as the HSSF Serializer.
+                </li>
+	        <li>
+                        Create a new library (HDF) for reading and writing 
+                        Microsoft Word DOC format.
+                </li>
+	        <li>
+                        Refactor the HSSFSerializer into a separate extensible 
+                        POIFSSerializer and HSSFSerializer
+                </li>

+	<p>
+                There are a number of enthusiastic
+                users of XML, UNIX and Java technology. Furthermore, the Microsoft
+                solution for outputting Office Document formats often involves
+                actually manipulating the software as an OLE Server. This method
+                provides extremely low performance, extremely high overhead and is
+                only capable of handing one document at a time.

+                        Our intended audience for the HSSF
+                        library portion of this project is ourselves as we are developing
+                        the HSSF serializer and anyone who needs to read and write Excel
+                        spreadsheets in a non-XML Java environment, or who has specific

+   <section><title>2.3. Key User Needs</title>
+	<p>
+                The HSSF library currently requires a
+                full object representation to be created before reading values. This
+                results in very high memory utilization. We need to reduce this
+                substantially for reading. It would be preferable to do this for
+                writing, but it may not be possible due to the constraints imposed by
+                the file format itself. Memory utilization during read is our top
+                user complaint.	
+        </p>

+        </p>
+        <p>
+                The HSSF library currently ignores
+                formula cells and identifies them as &quot;UnknownRecord&quot; at the
+                lower level of the API. We must provide a way to read and write
+                formulas. This is now the top requested feature.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+                The HSSF library currently does not support
+                charts.  This is a key requirement of some users who wish to use HSSF
+                in a reporting engine.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+                The HSSF Serializer currently does not
+                provide serialization for cell styling. User's will want stylish
+                spreadsheets to result from their XML.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+                There is currently no way to generate
+                the XML from an XLS that is consistent with the format used by the
+                HSSF Serializer.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+                There should be a way to read and write
+                the DOC file format using pure Java.

+	<p>
+                For developers on a Java and/or XML
+                environment this project will provide all the tools necessary for
+                outputting XML data in the Microsoft Excel format. This project seeks
+                to make the use of Microsoft Windows based servers unnecessary for
+                file format considerations and to fully document the OLE 2 Compound
+                Document format. The project aims not only to provide the tools for
+                serializing XML to Excel and Word file formats and the tools for
+                writing to those file formats from Java, but also to provide the
+                tools for later projects to convert other OLE 2 Compound Document
+                formats to pure Java APIs.

+    <section><title>POIFS File System Internals</title>
+      <section><title>Introduction</title>
+        <p>POIFS file systems are essentially normal files stored on a
+           Java-compatible platform's native file system. They are
+           typically identified by names ending in a four character
+           extension noting what type of data they contain. For
+           example, a file ending in &quot;.xls&quot; would likely
+           contain spreadsheet data, and a file ending in
+           &quot;.doc&quot; would probably contain a word processing
+           document. POIFS file systems are called &quot;file
+           system&quot;, because they contain multiple embedded files
+           in a manner similar to traditional file systems. Along
+           functional lines, it would be more accurate to call these
+           POIFS archives. For the remainder of this document it is
+           referred to as a file system in order to avoid confusion
+           with the &quot;files&quot; it contains.</p>
+        <p>POIFS file systems are compatible with those document
+           formats used by a well-known software company's popular
+           office productivity suite and programs outputting
+           compatible data. Because the POIFS file system does not
+           provide compression, encryption or any other worthwhile
+           feature, its not a good choice unless you require
+           interoperability with these programs.</p>
+        <p>The POIFS file system does not encode the documents
+           themselves. For example, if you had a word processor file
+           with the extension &quot;.doc&quot;, you would actually
+           have a POIFS file system with a document file archived
+           inside of that file system.</p>
+      </section>
+      <section><title>Document Conventions</title>
+        <p>This document utilizes the numeric types as described by
+           the Java Language Specification, which can be found at
+           <link href="http://java.sun.com">http://java.sun.com</link>. In
+           short:</p>
+        <ul>
+          <li>A <em>byte</em> is an 8 bit signed integer ranging from
+              -128 to 127.</li>
+          <li>A <em>short</em> is a 16 bit signed integer ranging from
+              -32768 to 32767</li>
+          <li>An <em>int</em> is a 32 bit signed integer ranging from
+              -2147483648 to 2147483647</li>
+          <li>A <em>long</em> is a 64 bit signed integer ranging from
+              -9.22E18 to 9.22E18.</li>
+        </ul>
+        <p>The Java Language Specification spells out a number of
+           other types that are not referred to by this document.</p>
+        <p>Where this document makes references to &quot;endian
+           conversion&quot; it is referring to the byte order of
+           stored numbers. Numbers in &quot;little-endian order&quot;
+           are stored with the <em>least</em> significant byte first. In
+           order to properly read a short, for example, you'd read two
+           bytes and then shift the second byte 8 bits to the left
+           before performing an <code>or</code> operation to it
+           against the first byte. The following code illustrates this
+           method:</p>
+	<source>
+public int getShort (byte[] rec)
+{
+    return ((rec[1] &lt;&lt; 8) | (rec[0] &amp; 0x00ff));
+}</source>
+      </section>
+      <section><title>File System Walkthrough</title>
+        <p>This is a walkthrough of a POIFS file system and how it is
+           put together. It is not intended to give a concise
+           description but to give a &quot;big picture&quot; of the
+           general structure and how it's interpreted.</p>
+        <p>A POIFS file system begins with a header. This header
+           identifies locations in the file by function and provides a
+           sanity check identifying a file as a POIFS file system.</p>
+        <p>The first 64 bits of the header compose a <em>magic number
+           identifier.</em> This identifier tells the client software
+           that this is indeed a POIFS file system and that it should
+           be treated as such. This is a &quot;sanity check&quot; to
+           make sure this is a POIFS file system and not some other
+           format. The header also contains an <em>array of block
+           numbers</em>. These block numbers refer to blocks in the
+           file. When these blocks are read together they form the
+           <em>Block Allocation Table</em>. The header also contains a
+           pointer to the first element in the <em>property table</em>,
+           also known as the <em>root element</em>, and a pointer to the
+           <em>small Block Allocation Table (SBAT)</em>.</p>
+        <p>The <em>block allocation table</em> or <em>BAT</em>, along with
+           the <em>property table</em>, specify which blocks in the file
+           system belong to which files. After the header block, the
+           file system is divided into identically sized blocks of
+           data, numbered from 0 to however many blocks there are in
+           the file system. For each file in the file system, its
+           entry in the property table includes the index of the first
+           block in the array of blocks. Each block's index into the
+           array of blocks is also its index into the BAT, and the
+           integer value stored at that index in the BAT gives the
+           index of the next block in the array (and thus the index of
+           the next BAT value). A special value is stored in the BAT
+           to indicate &quot;end of file&quot;.</p>
+        <p>The <em>property table</em> is essentially the directory
+           storage for the file system. It consists of the name of the
+           file or directory, its <em>start block</em> in both the file
+           system and <em>BAT</em>, and its actual size. The first
+           property in the property table is the <em>root
+           element</em>. It has two purposes: to be a directory entry
+           (the root of the directory tree, to be specific), and to
+           hold the start block for the <em>small block data</em>.</p>
+	<p>Small block data is a special file that contains the data
+	   for small files (less than 4K bytes). It subdivides its
+	   blocks into smaller blocks and there is a special small
+	   block allocation table that, like the main BAT for larger
+	   files, is used to map a small file to its small blocks.</p>
+      </section>
+	<section><title>Header Block</title>
+          <p>The POIFS file system begins with a <em>header
+             block</em>. The first 64 bits of the header form a long
+             <em>file type id</em> or <em>magic number identifier</em> of
+             <code>0xE11AB1A1E011CFD0L</code>. This is basically a
+             sanity check. If this isn't the first thing in the header
+             (and consequently the file system) then this is not a
+             POIFS file system and should be read with some other
+             library.</p>
+          <p>It's important to know the most important parts of the
+             header. These are discussed in the rest of this
+             section.</p>
+	  <section><title>BATs</title>
+            <p>At offset <em>0x2C</em> is an int specifying the number
+               of elements in the <em>BAT array</em>. The array at
+               <em>0x4C</em> an array of ints. This array contains the
+               indices of every block in the Block Allocation
+               Table.</p>
+	  </section>
+	  <section><title>XBATs</title>
+	    <p>Very large POIFS archives may have more blocks than can
+               be addressed by the BAT blocks enumerated in the header
+               block. How large? Well, the BAT array in the header can
+               contain up to 109 BAT block indices; each BAT block
+               references up to 128 blocks, and each block is 512
+               bytes, so we're talking about 109 * 128 * 512 =
+               6.8MB. That's a pretty respectable document! But, you
+               could have much more data than that, and in today's
+               world of cheap gigabyte drives, why not? So, the BAT
+               may be extended in that event. The integer value at
+               offset <em>0x44</em> of the header is the index of the
+               first <em>extended BAT (XBAT) block</em>. At offset
+               <em>0x48</em> of the header, there is an int value that
+               specifies how many XBAT blocks there are. The XBAT
+               blocks begin at the specified index into the array of
+               blocks making up the POIFS file system, and continue in
+               sequence for the specified count of XBAT blocks.</p>
+            <p>Each XBAT block contains the indices of up to 128 BAT
+               blocks, so the document size can be expanded by another
+               8MB for each XBAT block. The BAT blocks indexed by an
+               XBAT block are appended to the end of the list of BAT
+               blocks enumerated in the header block. Thus the BAT
+               blocks enumerated in the header block are BAT blocks 0
+               through 108, the BAT blocks enumerated in the first
+               XBAT block are BAT blocks 109 through 236, the BAT
+               blocks enumerated in the second XBAT block are BAT
+               blocks 237 through 364, and so on.</p>
+	    <p>Through the use of XBAT blocks, the limit on the
+	       overall document size is that imposed by the 4-byte
+	       block indices; if the indices are unsigned ints, the
+	       maximum file size is 2 terabytes, 1 terabyte if the
+	       indices are treated as signed ints. Either way, I have
+	       yet to see a disk drive large enough to accommodate
+	       such a file on the shelves at the local office supply
+	       stores.</p>

+	  <section><title>SBATs</title>
+            <p>If a file contained in a POIFS archive is smaller than
+               4096 bytes, it is stored in small blocks. Small blocks
+               are 64 bytes in length and are contained within big
+               blocks, up to 8 to a big block. As the main BAT is used
+               to navigate the array of big blocks, so the <em>small
+               block allocation table</em> is used to navigate the
+               array of small blocks. The SBAT's start block index is
+               found at offset <em>0x3C</em> of the header block, and
+               remaining blocks constituting the SBAT are found by
+               walking the main BAT as if it were an ordinary file in
+               the POIFS file system (this process is described
+               below).</p>
+	  </section>
+	  <section><title>Property Table Start Index</title>
+            <p>An integer at address <em>0x30</em> specifies the start
+               index of the property table. This integer is specified
+               as a <em>&quot;block index&quot;</em>. The Property Table
+               is stored, as is almost everything in a POIFS file
+               system, in big blocks and walked via the BAT. The
+               Property Table is described below.</p>
+	  </section>
+	</section>
+	<section><title>Property Table</title>
+          <p>The property table is essentially nothing more than the
+             directory system. Properties are 128 byte records
+             contained within the 512 byte blocks. The first property
+             is always the Root Entry. The following applies to
+             individual properties within a property table:</p>
+	  <ul>
+	    <li>At offset <em>0x00</em> in the property is the
+                &quot;<em>name</em>&quot;. This is stored as an
+                uncompressed 16 bit unicode string. In short every
+                other byte corresponds to an &quot;ASCII&quot;
+                character. The size of this string is stored at offset
+                <em>0x40</em> (<em>string size</em>) as a short.</li>
+            <li>At offset <em>0x42</em> is the <em>property type</em>
+                (byte). The type is 1 for directory, 2 for file or 5
+                for the Root Entry.</li>
+	    <li>At offset <em>0x43</em> is the <em>node color</em>
+                (byte). The color is either 1, (black), or 0,
+                (red). Properties are apparently meant to be arranged
+                in a red-black binary tree, subject to the following
+                rules:
+	      <ol>
+	        <li>The root of the tree is always black</li>
+		<li>Two consecutive nodes cannot both be red</li>
+		<li>A property is less than another property if its
+		    name length is less than the other property's name
+		    length</li>
+		<li>If two properties have the same name length, the
+		    sort order is determined by the sort order of the
+		    properties' names.</li>
+	      </ol></li>
+	    <li>At offset <em>0x44</em> is the index (int) of the
+	        <em>previous property</em>.</li>
+	    <li>At offset <em>0x48</em> is the index (int) of the
+                <em>next property</em>.</li>
+            <li>At offset <em>0x4C</em> is the index (int) of the
+                <em>first directory entry</em>. This is used by
+                directory entries.</li>
+	    <li>At offset <em>0x74</em> is an integer giving the
+                <em>start block</em> for the file described by this
+                property. This index corresponds to an index in the
+                array of indices that is the Block Allocation Table
+                (or the Small Block Allocation Table) as well as the
+                index of the first block in the file. This is used by
+                files and the root entry.</li>
+	    <li>At offset <em>0x78</em> is an integer giving the total
+                <em>actual size</em> of the file pointed at by this
+                property. If the file size is less than 4096, the file
+                is stored in small blocks and the SBAT is used to walk
+                the small blocks making up the file. If the file size
+                is 4096 or larger, the file is stored in big blocks
+                and the main BAT is used to walk the big blocks making
+                up the file. The exception to this rule is the <em>Root
+                Entry</em>, which, regardless of its size, is
+                <em>always</em> stored in big blocks and the main BAT is
+                used to walk the big blocks making up this special
+                file.</li>
+	  </ul>
+	</section>
+	<section><title>Root Entry</title>
+          <p>The <em>Root Entry</em> in the <em>Property Table</em>
+             contains the information necessary to read and write
+             small files, which are files less than 4096 bytes
+             long. The start block field of the Root Entry is the
+             start index of the <em>Small Block Array</em>, which is
+             read like any other file in the POIFS file system. Since
+             the SBAT cannot be used without the Small Block Array,
+             the Root Entry MUST be read or written using the <em>Block
+             Allocation Table</em>. The blocks making up the Small
+             Block Array are divided into 64-byte small blocks, up to
+             the size indicated in the Root Entry (which should always
+             be a multiple of 64).</p>
+	</section>
+	<section><title>Walking the Nodes of the Property Table</title>
+          <p>The individual properties form a directory tree, with the
+             <em>Root Entry</em> as the directory tree's root, as shown
+             in the accompanying drawing. Note the numbers in
+             parentheses in each node; they represent the node's index
+             in the array of properties. The <em>NEXT_PROP</em>,
+             <em>PREVIOUS_PROP</em>, and <em>CHILD_PROP</em> fields hold
+             these indices, and are used to navigate the tree.</p>
+          <p><img alt="property set" src="images/PropertySet.jpg" /></p>
+	  <p>Each directory entry (i.e., a property whose type is
+             <em>directory</em> or <em>root entry</em>) uses its
+             <em>CHILD_PROP</em> field to point to one of its
+             subordinate (child) properties. It doesn't seem to matter
+             which of its children it points to. Thus in the previous
+             drawing, the Root Entry's CHILD_PROP field may contain 1,
+             4, or the index of one of its other children.  Similarly,
+             the directory node (index 1) may have, in its CHILD_PROP
+             field, 2, 3, or the index of one of its other
+             children.</p>
+          <p>The children of a given directory property point to each
+             other in a similar fashion by using their
+             <em>NEXT_PROP</em> and <em>PREVIOUS_PROP</em> fields.</p>
+	  <p>Unused <em>NEXT_PROP</em>, <em>PREVIOUS_PROP</em>, and
+             <em>CHILD_PROP</em> fields contain the marker value of
+             -1. All file properties have a value of -1 for their
+             CHILD_PROP fields for example.</p>
+	</section>
+	<section><title>Block Allocation Table</title>
+	  <p>The <em>BAT blocks</em> are pointed at by the bat array
+             contained in the header and supplemented, if necessary,
+             by the <em>XBAT blocks</em>. These blocks form a large
+             table of integers. These integers are block numbers. The
+             <em>Block Allocation Table</em> holds chains of integers.
+             These chains are terminated with -2. The elements in
+             these chains refer to blocks in the files. The starting
+             block of a file is NOT specified in the BAT.  It is
+             specified by the <em>property</em> for a given file. The
+             elements in this BAT are both the block number (within
+             the file minus the header) <em>and</em> the number of the
+             next BAT element in the chain. This can be thought of as
+             a linked list of blocks. The BAT array contains the links
+             from one block to the next, including the end of chain
+             marker.</p>
+          <p>Here's an example: Let's assume that the BAT begins as
+             follows:</p>
+	  <p><code>BAT[ 0 ] = 2</code></p>
+	  <p><code>BAT[ 1 ] = 5</code></p>
+	  <p><code>BAT[ 2 ] = 3</code></p>
+	  <p><code>BAT[ 3 ] = 4</code></p>
+	  <p><code>BAT[ 4 ] = 6</code></p>
+	  <p><code>BAT[ 5 ] = -2</code></p>
+	  <p><code>BAT[ 6 ] = 7</code></p>
+	  <p><code>BAT[ 7 ] = -2</code></p>
+	  <p><code>...</code></p>
+	  <p>Now, if we have a file whose Property Table entry says it
+             begins with index 0, we walk the BAT array and see that
+             the file consists of blocks 0 (because the start block is
+             0), 2 (because BAT[ 0 ] is 2), 3 (BAT[ 2 ] is 3), 4 (BAT[
+             3 ] is 4), 6 (BAT[ 4 ] is 6), and 7 (BAT[ 6 ] is 7). It
+             ends at block 7 because BAT[ 7 ] is -2, which is the end
+             of chain marker.</p>
+          <p>Similarly, a file beginning at index 1 consists of
+             blocks 1 and 5.</p>
+	  <p>Other special numbers in a BAT array are:</p>
+          <ul>
+            <li>-1, which indicates an unused block</li>
+            <li>-3, which indicates a &quot;special&quot; block, such
+                as a block used to make up the Small Block Array, the
+                Property Table, the main BAT, or the SBAT</li>
+          </ul>

It is not necessary for developers to understand the POIFS data structures, and an explanation of those data structures is beyond the scope of this document. It is expected that the members of the target audience will understand the rudiments of a hierarchical file system, and familiarity with the event pattern employed by Java APIs such as AWT would be helpful.</p>

+      </table>
+      <section><title>Conventional Reading</title>
+        <p>In this technique for reading, the entire file system is loaded into memory, and the entire directory tree can be walked by an application, reading specific documents at the application's leisure.</p>
+	<section><title>Preparation</title>
+	  <p>Before an application can read a file from the file system, the file system needs to be loaded into memory. This is done by using the <code>org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.POIFSFileSystem</code> class. Once the file system has been loaded into memory, the application may need the root directory. The following code fragment will accomplish this preparation stage:</p>
+	  <source>
+// need an open InputStream; for a file-based system, this would be appropriate:
+// InputStream stream = new FileInputStream(fileName);
+POIFSFileSystem fs;
+try
+{
+    fs = new POIFSFileSystem(inputStream);
+}
+catch (IOException e)
+{
+    // an I/O error occurred, or the InputStream did not provide a compatible
+    // POIFS data structure
+}
+DirectoryEntry root = fs.getRoot();</source>
+	  <p>Assuming no exception was thrown, the file system can then be read.</p>
+	  <p>Note: loading the file system can take noticeable time, particularly for large file systems.</p>
+	</section>
+	<section><title>Reading the Directory Tree</title>
+	  <p>Once the file system has been loaded into memory and the root directory has been obtained, the root directory can be read. The following code fragment shows how to read the entries in an <code>org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.DirectoryEntry</code> instance:</p>
+	  <source>
+// dir is an instance of DirectoryEntry ...
+for (Iterator iter = dir.getEntries(); iter.hasNext(); )
+{
+    Entry entry = (Entry)iter.next();
+    System.out.println("found entry: " + entry.getName());
+    if (entry instanceof DirectoryEntry)
+    {
+        // .. recurse into this directory
+    }
+    else if (entry instanceof DocumentEntry)
+    {
+        // entry is a document, which you can read
+    }
+    else
+    {
+        // currently, either an Entry is a DirectoryEntry or a DocumentEntry,
+	// but in the future, there may be other entry subinterfaces. The
+	// internal data structure certainly allows for a lot more entry types.
+    }
+}</source>
+	</section>
+	<section><title>Reading a Specific Document</title>
+	  <p>There are a couple of ways to read a document, depending on whether the document resides in the root directory or in another directory. Either way, you will obtain an <code>org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.DocumentInputStream</code> instance.</p>
+	  <section><title>DocumentInputStream</title>
+	    <p>The DocumentInputStream class is a simple implementation of InputStream that makes a few guarantees worth noting:</p>
+	    <ul>
+	      <li><code>available()</code> always returns the number of bytes in the document from your current position in the document.</li>
+	      <li><code>markSupported()</code> returns <code>true</code>.</li>
+	      <li><code>mark(int limit)</code> ignores the limit parameter; basically the method marks the current position in the document.</li>
+	      <li><code>reset()</code> takes you back to the position when <code>mark()</code> was last called, or to the beginning of the document if <code>mark()</code> has not been called.</li>
+	      <li><code>skip(long n)</code> will take you to your current position + n (but not past the end of the document).</li>
+	    </ul>
+	    <p>The behavior of <code>available</code> means you can read in a document in a single read call like this:</p>
+	    <source>
+byte[] content = new byte[ stream.available() ];
+stream.read(content);
+stream.close();</source>
+	    <p>The combination of <code>mark</code>, <code>reset</code>, and <code>skip</code> provide the basic mechanisms needed for random access of the document contents.</p>
+	  </section>
+	  <section><title>Reading a Document From the Root Directory</title>
+	    <p>If the document resides in the root directory, you can obtain a <code>DocumentInputStream</code> like this:</p>
+	    <source>
+// load file system
+try
+{
+    DocumentInputStream stream = filesystem.createDocumentInputStream(documentName);
+    // process data from stream
+}
+catch (IOException e)
+{
+    // no such document, or the Entry represented by documentName is not a
+    // DocumentEntry
+}</source>
+          </section>
+	  <section><title>Reading a Document From an Arbitrary Directory</title>
+	    <p>A more generic technique for reading a document is to obtain an <code>org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.DirectoryEntry</code> instance for the directory containing the desired document (recall that you can use <code>getRoot()</code> to obtain the root directory from its file system). From that DirectoryEntry, you can then obtain a <code>DocumentInputStream</code> like this:</p>
+	    <source>
+DocumentEntry document = (DocumentEntry)directory.getEntry(documentName);
+DocumentInputStream stream = new DocumentInputStream(document);
+</source>
+	  </section>
+	</section>
+      </section>
+      <section><title>Event-Driven Reading</title>
+        <p>The event-driven API for reading documents is a little more complicated and requires that your application know, in advance, which files it wants to read. The benefit of using this API is that each document is in memory just long enough for your application to read it, and documents that you never read at all are not in memory at all. When you're finished reading the documents you wanted, the file system has no data structures associated with it at all and can be discarded.</p>
+	<section><title>Preparation</title>
+	  <p>The preparation phase involves creating an instance of <code>org.apache.poi.poifs.eventfilesystem.POIFSReader</code> and to then register one or more <code>org.apache.poi.poifs.eventfilesystem.POIFSReaderListener</code> instances with the <code>POIFSReader</code>.</p>
+	  <source>
+POIFSReader reader = new POIFSReader();
+// register for everything
+reader.registerListener(myOmnivorousListener);
+// register for selective files
+reader.registerListener(myPickyListener, "foo");
+reader.registerListener(myPickyListener, "bar");
+// register for selective files
+reader.registerListener(myOtherPickyListener, new POIFSDocumentPath(),
+     "fubar");
+reader.registerListener(myOtherPickyListener, new POIFSDocumentPath(
+    new String[] { "usr", "bin" ), "fubar");</source>
+	</section>
+	<section><title>POIFSReaderListener</title>
+	  <p><code>org.apache.poi.poifs.eventfilesystem.POIFSReaderListener</code> is an interface used to register for documents. When a matching document is read by the <code>org.apache.poi.poifs.eventfilesystem.POIFSReader</code>, the <code>POIFSReaderListener</code> instance receives an <code>org.apache.poi.poifs.eventfilesystem.POIFSReaderEvent</code> instance, which contains an open <code>DocumentInputStream</code> and information about the document.</p>
+	  <p>A <code>POIFSReaderListener</code> instance can register for individual documents, or it can register for all documents; once it has registered for all documents, subsequent (and previous!) registration requests for individual documents are ignored. There is no way to unregister a <code>POIFSReaderListener</code>.</p>
+	  <p>Thus, it is possible to register a single <code>POIFSReaderListener</code> for multiple documents - one, some, or all documents. It is guaranteed that a single <code>POIFSReaderListener</code> will receive exactly one notification per registered document. There is no guarantee as to the order in which it will receive notification of its documents, as future implementations of <code>POIFSReader</code> are free to change the algorithm for walking the file system's directory structure.</p>
+	  <p>It is also permitted to register more than one <code>POIFSReaderListener</code> for the same document. There is no guarantee of ordering for notification of <code>POIFSReaderListener</code> instances that have registered for the same document when <code>POIFSReader</code> processes that document.</p>
+	  <p>It is guaranteed that all notifications occur in the same thread. A future enhancement may be made to provide multi-threaded notifications, but such an enhancement would very probably be made in a new reader class, a <code>ThreadedPOIFSReader</code> perhaps.</p>
+	  <p>The following table describes the three ways to register a <code>POIFSReaderListener</code> for a document or set of documents:</p>

+	  <p>The <code>org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.POIFSDocumentPath</code> class is used to describe a directory in a POIFS file system. Since there are no reserved characters in the name of a file in a POIFS file system, a more traditional string-based solution for describing a directory, with special characters delimiting the components of the directory name, is not feasible. The constructors for the class are used as follows:</p>

+	  <p>Processing <code>org.apache.poi.poifs.eventfilesystem.POIFSReaderEvent</code> events is relatively easy. After all of the <code>POIFSReaderListener</code> instances have been registered with <code>POIFSReader</code>, the <code>POIFSReader.read(InputStream stream)</code> method is called.</p>
+	  <p>Assuming that there are no problems with the data, as the <code>POIFSReader</code> processes the documents in the specified <code>InputStream</code>'s data, it calls registered <code>POIFSReaderListener</code> instances' <code>processPOIFSReaderEvent</code> method with a <code>POIFSReaderEvent</code> instance.</p>
+	  <p>The <code>POIFSReaderEvent</code> instance contains information to identify the document (a <code>POIFSDocumentPath</code> object to identify the directory that the document is in, and the document name), and an open <code>DocumentInputStream</code> instance from which to read the document.</p>

+    <section><title>Writing a File System</title>
+      <p>Writing a file system is very much like reading a file system in that there are multiple ways to do so. You can load an existing file system into memory and modify it (removing files, renaming files) and/or add new files to it, and write it, or you can start with a new, empty file system:</p>
+      <source>
+POIFSFileSystem fs = new POIFSFileSystem();</source>
+      <section><title>The Naming of Names</title>
+        <p>There are two restrictions on the names of files in a file system that must be considered when creating files:</p>
+	<ol>
+	  <li>The name of the file must not exceed 31 characters. If it does, the POIFS API will silently truncate the name to fit.</li>
+	  <li>The name of the file must be unique within its containing directory. This seems pretty obvious, but if it isn't spelled out, there'll be hell to pay, to be sure. Uniqueness, of course, is determined <em>after</em> the name has been truncated, if the original name was too long to begin with.</li>
+	</ol>
+      </section>
+      <section><title>Creating a Document</title>
+        <p>A document can be created by acquiring a <code>DirectoryEntry</code> and calling one of the two <code>createDocument</code> methods:</p>
+	<table>
+	  <tr>
+	    <td><em>Method Signature</em></td>
+	    <td><em>Advantages</em></td>

+            Determining document size in advance may be difficult.<br/>

+	    </td>
+	  </tr>
+	</table>
+	<p>Unlike reading, you don't have to choose between the in-memory and event-driven writing models; both can co-exist in the same file system.</p>
+	<p>Writing is initiated when the <code>POIFSFileSystem</code> instance's <code>writeFilesystem()</code> method is called with an <code>OutputStream</code> to write to.</p>
+	<p>The event-driven model is quite similar to the event-driven model for reading, in that the file system calls your <code>org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.POIFSWriterListener</code> when it's time to write your document, just as the <code>POIFSReader</code> calls your <code>POIFSReaderListener</code> when it's time to read your document. Internally, when <code>writeFilesystem()</code> is called, the final POIFS data structures are created and are written to the specified <code>OutputStream</code>. When the file system needs to write a document out that was created with the event-driven model, it calls the <code>POIFSWriterListener</code> back, calling its <code>processPOIFSWriterEvent()</code> method, passing an <code>org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.POIFSWriterEvent</code> instance. This object contains the <code>POIFSDocumentPath</code> and name of the document, its size, and an open <code>org.apache.poi.poifs.filesystem.DocumentOutputStream</code> to which to write. A <code>DocumentOutputStream</code> is a wrapper over the <code>OutputStream</code> that was provided to the <code>POIFSFileSystem</code> to write to, and has the responsibility of making sure that the document your application writes fits within the size you specified for it.</p>

+      </section>
+      <section><title>Removing a Directory</title>
+        <p>Removing a directory is also simple: you get the <code>Entry</code> corresponding to the directory and call its <code>delete()</code> method. This is a boolean method, but, unlike deleting a document, may not always return <code>true</code>, indicating that the operation succeeded. Here are the reasons why the operation may fail:</p>
+	<ul>
+	  <li>The directory still has files in it (to check, call <code>isEmpty()</code> on its DirectoryEntry; is the return value <code>false</code>?)</li>
+	  <li>The directory is the root directory. You cannot remove the root directory.</li>
+	</ul>
+      </section>
+      <section><title>Renaming a File</title>
+        <p>Regardless of whether the file is a directory or a document, it can be renamed, with one exception - the root directory has a special name that is expected by the components of a major software vendor's office suite, and the POIFS API will not let that name be changed. Renaming is done by acquiring the file's corresponding <code>Entry</code> instance and calling its <code>renameTo</code> method, passing in the new name.</p>
+	<p>Like <code>delete</code>, <code>renameTo</code> returns <code>true</code> if the operation succeeded, otherwise <code>false</code>. Reasons for failure include these:</p>
+	<ul>
+	  <li>The new name is the same as another file in the same directory. And don't forget - if the new name is longer than 31 characters, it <em>will</em> be silently truncated. In its original length, the new name may have been unique, but truncated to 31 characters, it may not be unique any longer.</li>
+	  <li>You tried to rename the root directory.</li>

+      <p>POIFS is a pure Java implementation of the OLE 2 Compound
+         Document format.</p>
+      <p>By definition, all APIs developed by the POI project are
+         based somehow on the POIFS API.</p>
+      <p>A common confusion is on just what POIFS buys you or what OLE
+         2 Compound Document format is exactly. POIFS does not buy you
+         DOC, or XLS, but is necessary to generate or read DOC or XLS
+         files. You see, all file formats based on the OLE 2 Compound
+         Document Format have a common structure. The OLE 2 Compound
+         Document Format is essentially a convoluted archive
+         format. Think of POIFS as a "zip" library. Once you can get
+         the data in a zip file you still need to interpret the
+         data. As a general rule, while all of our formats <em>use</em>
+         POIFS, most of them attempt to abstract you from it. There
+         are some circumstances where this is not possible, but as a
+         general rule this is true.</p>
+      <p>If you're an end user type just looking to generate XLS
+         files, then you'd be looking for HSSF not POIFS; however, if
+         you have legacy code that uses MFC property sets, POIFS is
+         for you!  Regardless, you may or may not need to know how to
+         use POIFS but ultimately if you use technologies that come
+         from the POI project, you're using POIFS underneith.  Perhaps
+         we should have a branding campaign "POIFS Inside!".  ;-)</p>

+        <p>
+                Every project on Jakarta has resolutions that they vote on.
+                Decisions are made, etc.  But what happens once those decisions
+                are made?  They are archived in the mail list archive never to
+                be read again (once its not in the top 10 or so posts).  So they
+                get discussed again and again.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+                Rather than have that big waste of time, we have this section to
+                record important POI decisions.  Once a decision is passed it 
+                need only be linked to this page (either by creating a page for 
+                it or by simply linking it to the archive messages).  Wherever 
+                possible a brief about how many votes for and against an maybe
+                some background should be posted.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+                This section is intended mainly to reduce big waste of time
+                discussions from taking away from whats important...developing
+                POI! :-D

+                        As the POI project has grown the "styles" used have become more
+                        varied, some see this as a bad thing, but in reality it
+                        can be a good thing.  Each can learn from the different
+                        styles by working with different code.  That being said
+                        there are some universal "good quality" guidelines that
+                        must be adopted on a project of any proportions.

+                </p>
+                <ol>
+                        <li>
+                        All classes and interfaces MUST have, right at the beginning, the POI
+                        License (see poi/doc/LICENSE).
+                        </li>
+                        <li>
+                        All classes and interfaces MUST include class javadoc. Conventionally,
+                        this goes after the package and imports, and before the start of the class
+                        or interface. The class javadoc MUST have at least one @author tag
+                        </li>
+                        <li>
+                        All methods that are accessible outside the class MUST have javadoc
+                        comments. In other words, if it isn't private, it MUST have javadoc
+                        comments. Simple getters can consist of a simple @return tag; simple setters
+                        can consist of a simple @param tag. Anything else requires some verbiage
+                        plus all the standard javadoc tags as appropriate. You MUST include @throws
+                        or @exception for any non-runtime exceptions, and you SHOULD document any
+                        runtime exceptions you expect to throw. @throws/@exception tags SHOULD
+                        include an explanation of why that exception would be thrown. If your method
+                        might return null, you MUST say so. An accompanying explanation of the
+                        circumstances for doing so would be nice.
+                        </li>

+                        As opposed to the formerly used POI License which was
+                        based on the Apache Public License, now that POI is part of
+                        Jakarta, use the APL 1.1 for the header.  Currently, the
+                        Apache Software Foundation requires us to use the full
+                        long version.

+    <section><title>Zweck</title>
+      <p>
+        Das POI-Projekt besteht aus Java-APIs zum Erstellen und
+        Bearbeiten von Dateiformaten, die auf dem Microsoft-Dateiformat »OLE-2
+        Compound Document« beruhen. Dateien in diesem Format sind unter
+        anderem die meisten Microsoft-Office-Dateien, wie zum
+        Beispiel Excel- und Word-Dateien.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        Grundsätzlich versuchen wir, möglichst viel mit anderen Projekten
+        zusammenzuarbeiten, um die gewünschten Funktionalitäten zur Verfügung
+        zu stellen. Einige Beispiele: Für
+        <link href="http://xml.apache.org/cocoon">Cocoon</link>
+        werden bald Generatoren und Serializer zur Verfügung stehen. Wir
+        arbeiten mit 
+        <link href="http://www.openoffice.org/">Open Office.org</link>
+        zusammen, um das Excel-Dateiformat zu
+        dokumentieren.
+        Für <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene">Lucene</link>
+        werden bald Filtermodule zur Verfügung stehen. Wir stellen anderen
+        Projekten Teile des POI-Projektes zur Verfügung, damit diese
+        die POI-Funktionalitäten nutzen können.
+      </p>
+      <section><title>Warum und wann sollte man POI nutzen?</title>
+        <p>
+          Wir werden diese Frage komponentenweise beantworten. POI besteht aus
+          einer Reihe von Komponenten, die jeweils unterschiedliche Probleme
+          angehen. Das Kürzel »POI« steht für das gesamte Projekt.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          Mit <strong>POIFS</strong> können Sie Dateien oder Dokumente, die im
+	  OLE 2 Compound Document Format geschrieben wurden, mit Java
+	  einlesen. Solche Dateien werden üblicherweise mit der
+	  MFC-Klassenbibliothek erzeugt.
+          Außerdem können sie POIFS nutzen, um Dateien im OLE 2 Compound
+          Document Format zu schreiben. Damit können sie zum Beispiel
+          den Datenaustausch mit der Windows-Plattform sicherstellen.
+          Wir können guten Gewissens behaupten, daß POIFS die
+          vollständigste Implementierung dieses Dateiformates ist.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          Mit <strong>HSSF</strong> können sie Excel-Dateien in Java lesen und
+	  schreiben. Sie können auch Excel-Tabellen lesen und
+	  modifizieren. Allerdings ist die Schreibfunktionalität im Moment am
+	  ausgereiftesten.
+        </p>
+      </section>
+
+      <section><title>Wofür steht POI ?</title>
+        <p>
+          POI bedeutet »Poor Obfuscation Implementation« (Schlechte,
+          verschleiernde Implementierung).
+          Warum geben wir unserem Projekt einen so abschätzigen Namen?
+          Nun, das Microsoft OLE 2 Compound Document Format ist einfach
+          schlecht durchdacht. Von seiner Grundidee her ist es ein
+          Dateiarchiv mit einer Struktur, die dem alten DOS-FAT-Dateisystem
+          ähnelt. Die Redmonder haben kein bereits vorhandenes Archivformat
+          wie tar, gzip, zip oder arc genutzt, sondern stattdessen ein
+          eigenes Archivformat erfunden,
+          das keinerlei Standardverschlüsselung oder -komprimierung
+          bietet, das schlecht erweiterbar ist, und das zur 
+          Fragmentierung neigt.
+        </p>
+        <p>Poi ist außerdem eine Spezialität der hawaiianischen Küche. Sie wird
+	  in <link href="http://www.m-w.com/">Merriam Webster's
+	  Dictionary</link> beschrieben als: »Ein hawaiianisches Gericht aus
+	  Taro-Wurzeln, die durch Stampfen, Kochen und Kneten zu einer Paste
+	  geformt und oft noch ein wenig gegoren wird.« Dies ist witzigerweise
+	  eine treffende Beschreibung des Dateiformats.</p>
+        <p>
+          POI ist also eine Abkürzung. Wenn Sie Abkürzungen nicht mögen,
+          dann denken sie einfach bei Poi an das hawaiianischen Gericht.
+          Je nachdem, ob Sie Abkürzungen mögen oder nicht, nutzen sie
+          einfach POI oder Poi, wenn sie dieses Projekt meinen.

+        <p>
+          POI besteht aus mehreren Komponenten, die jeweils unterschiedliche
+	  Aufgaben angehen. Beispielsweise dient die Komponente HSSF dazu,
+	  Excel-Dateien zu schreiben und zu lesen. Es folgt eine Liste aller
+	  Komponenten des POI-Projektes mit einer sehr kurzen Zusammenfassung
+	  ihres Zweckes.
+        </p>
+      </section>
+      <section><title>POIFS (POI Filesystem)</title>
+        <p>
+          POIFS ist der älteste und stabilste Teil des Projektes. POIFS
+          ist unsere Portierung des OLE 2 Compound Document Formats
+          in reinem Java. Es unterstützt Lesen und Schreiben. Alle
+          anderen Komponenten basieren auf POIFS. Mehr Informationen
+          gibt es auf der <link
+          href="../../poifs/index.html">POIFS-Seite</link>.
+        </p>
+      </section>
+      <section><title>HSSF (Horrible Spreadsheet Format)</title>
+        <p>
+          HSSF ist unsere Portierung des Microsoft Excel 97(-2002)
+          Dateiformats in reinem Java. Es unterstützt Lesen und
+          Schreiben. Mehr Informationen gibt es auf der
+          <link href="../../hssf/index.html">HSSF-Seite</link>.

+      </section>
+      <section><title>HDF (Horrible Document Format)</title>
+        <p>
+          HDF ist unsere Portierung des Microsoft Word 97 Datei-Formats
+          in reinem Java. Es unterstützt Lesen und Schreiben. Mehr
+          Informationen gibt es auf der
+          <link href="../../hdf/index.html">HDF-Seite</link>.
+          Diese Komponente ist noch nicht sehr weit fortgeschritten. Wir suchen
+          Entwickler, die mitmachen.
+        </p>
+      </section>
+      <section><title>HPSF (Horrible Property Set Format)</title>
+        <p>
+          HPSF ist unsere Portierung des OLE 2 Property Formats.
+          Property Sets werden häufig genutzt, um Metadaten eines
+          Dokuments wie Titel, Autor und Datum zu speichern. Sie
+          können aber auch für applikationsspezifische Anwendungen
+          genutzt werden. Mehr Informationen gibt es auf der
+          <link href="../../hpsf/index.html">HPSF-Seite</link>.
+        </p>
+      </section>
+    </section>
+    <section><title>Wo ist der HSSF-Serializer geblieben?</title>
+      <p>
+        Der HSSF-Serializer war Teil der Version 1.0 und der letzten Versionen
+        von <link
+        href="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/poi">Sourceforge</link>.
+        Er wurde an das <link
+        href="http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/">Cocoon</link>-Projekt 
+        übertragen und ist Bestandteil von Cocoon seit Version 2.0.2.
+      </p>
+    </section>
+    <section><title>Beitragen</title>
+      <p>
+        Sie möchten zu diesem Projekt beitragen? Hervorragend!
+        Wir brauchen immer begeisterte, fleißige und talentierte Leute, die
+        uns bei den verschiedenen Aufgaben des Projektes helfen. Nummer eins

+       <p>
+          A number of people are using POI for a variety of purposes.  As with
+          any new API or technology, the first question people generally ask
+          is not "how can I" but rather "Who else is doing what I'm about to 
+          do?"  This is understandable with the abismal success rate in the 
+          software business.  These case statements are meant to help create
+          confidence and understanding.
+       </p>
+    </section>
+    <section><title>Submitting a Case Study</title>
+       <p>
+          We are actively seeking case studies for this page (after all it 
+          just started).  Andy Oliver (acoliver at apache dot org) has 
+          agreed to have a few T-Shirts printed with the POI logo (once its
+          chosen) for the first
+          few best submissions.  To submit a case study, either  
+          <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/getinvolved/index.html">
+          submit a patch for this page</link> (preferred) or email it to the 
+          <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html">mailing list
+          </link>.

+      <section><title>Edwards And Kelcey Technology</title>
+      <p>
+      Edwards and Kelcey Technology (http://www.ekcorp.com/) developed a 
+      Facility
+      Managament and Maintenance System for the Telecommunications industry 
+      based
+      on Turbine and Velocity. Originally the invoicing was done with a simple 
+      CVS
+      sheet which was then marked up by accounts and customized for each client.
+      As growth has been consistent with the application, the requirement for
+      invoices that need not be touched by hand increased. POI provided the
+      solution to this issue, integrating easily and transparently into the
+      system. POI HSSF was used to create the invoices directly from the server
+      in
+      Excel 97 format and now services over 150 unique invoices per month.

+        <question>
+          ¿Por qué la lectura de una hoja de cálculo simple lleva tanto tiempo?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+          <p>
+          Probablemente hayas habilitado el registro (logging). Dicho registro es
+          una herramienta útil para la búsqueda de errores (debug). Tenerlo habilitado
+          reducirá el rendimiento en un factor de al menos 100. El registro es útil para
+          comprender por qué POI no puede leer algún fichero o para el propio desarrollo
+          de POI.
+          Los errores importantes se lanzan como excepciones, lo cual significa que
+          probablemente no necesites el registro (log).

+        <question>
+          ¿Qué es el "eventmodel" (modelo de evento) de HSSF?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+              <p> El paquete "eventmodel" de HSSF es un nuevo API para la lectura más eficiente de ficheros
+              XML. Requiere mayor conocimiento por parte del usuario, pero reduce el consumo de memoria a
+              una décima parte. Está basado en el modelo de eventos AWT en combinación con SAX. Si necesita
+              acceso de sólo-lectura a un fichero XML determinado, esta es la mejor manera de hacerlo.</p>

+          ¿Por qué no puedo leer el documento que creé utilizando Star Office 5.1?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+              <p>Star Office 5.1 escribe algunos registros utilizando el viejo estándar BIFF.
+              Esto provoca algunos problemas con POI que sólo soporta BIFF8.</p>

+            ¿Por qué recibo una excepción cada vez que intento leer mi hoja de cálculo?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <p>Es posible que su hoja de cálculo contenga alguna característica que no esté
+            soportada actualmente por HSSF. Por ejemplo - hojas de cálculo que contengan
+            celdas con formato RTF (rich text) no están soportadas actualmente.</p>

+        <question>
+            ¿Soporta HSSF hojas de cálculo protegidas?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <p>Al proteger una hoja de cálculo, ésta se cifra. No tocaremos el cifrado, porque no
+            tenemos el suficiente conocimiento legal y no estamos seguros de las implicaciones que
+            conllevaría el intentar implementar esto. Si desea intentarlo, es libre de hacerlo y
+            de añadirlo como un módulo enchufable (plugin). Sin embargo, no lo guardaremos aquí.</p>

+        <question>
+            ¿Cómo se sabe si un campo contiene una fecha con HSSF?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <p>Excel almacena las fechas como números. Así la única manera para determinar
+            si una celda está realmente almacenada como una fecha consiste en mirar su formato.
+            Hay un método de ayuda (helper) en HSSFDateUtil (desde la distribución 1.7.0-dev)
+            que lo comprueba. Gracias a Jason Hoffman por proporcionar la solución.</p>

+        <question>
+            Estoy intentando ver un fichero XLS enviado como flujo (stream) desde un servlet y tengo
+            complicaciones. ¿Cuál es el problema?
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <p>
+            El problema normalmente se manifiesta como un montón de caracteres basura
+            en la pantalla. El problema persiste incluso aunque hayas configurado el tipo mime
+            correcto.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+            La respuesta breve es: no dependas de IE para mostrar un fichero binario. 
+            Escribe un documento adjunto como es debido si lo envías a través de un servlet. 
+            Toda versión de IE tiene diferentes fallos (bugs) en este sentido.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+            El problema en la mayoría de las versiones de IE reside en que no utiliza el tipo mime
+            de la respuesta HTTP para determinar el tipo de fichero; en su lugar utiliza la extensión
+            del fichero en la petición. Así podría añadir un <strong>.xls</strong> a su cadena de petición.
+            Por ejemplo: <em>http://yourserver.com/myServelet.xls?param1=xx</em>. Esto se consigue
+            fácilmente a través del mapeo de URL en cualquier contenedor servlet. A veces una
+            petición como
+                <em>http://yourserver.com/myServelet?param1=xx&amp;dummy=file.xls</em> 
+            también funciona.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+            Para garantizar la correcta apertura del fichero en Excel desde IE, escribe
+            tu fichero a un fichero temporal bajo su raiz web desde tu servlet. Envía entonces
+            una respuesta http al navegador para que haga una redirección en el lado del cliente
+            a tu fichero temporal. (Si haces una redirección en el lado del servidor utilizando
+            RequestDispatcher, tendrás que añadir .xls a la petición como se ha mendionado más
+            arriba)
+            </p>
+            <p>
+            Date cuenta de que cuando pides un documento que se abre con un manejador externo,
+            IE a veces realiza dos peticiones al servidor web. Así que si tu proceso generador
+            es pesado, tiene sentido escribir a un fichero temporal, para que peticiones
+            múltiples utilicen el fichero estático.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+            Nada de esto pertenece a Excel. El mismo problema ocurre cuando intentas general
+            cualquier fichero binario dinámicamente a un cliente IE. Por ejemplo, si generas
+            ficheros pdf utilizando
+                <link href="http://xml.apache.org/fop">FOP</link>,
+                te encontrarás con los mismos problemas.

+            Quiero dar formato a una celda (Data format of a cell) de una hoja excel como

+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <p>
+                HSSF no soporta todavía formatos de datos personalizados, sin embargo,
+                debería ser una facilidad razonablemente sencilla de añadir y aceptaremos
+                gustosos contribuciones en este área.

+            Intenté escribir valores en celdas así como cambiar el nombre de la hoja Excel
+            en mi lengua nativa, pero no pude hacerlo. :(
+        </question>
+        <answer>
+            <p>
+            Por defecto HSSF utiliza valores de celdas y nombres de hoja en unicode comprimido,
+            asi que para soportar la localización deberías utilizar Unicode.
+            Para hacerlo deberías configurarlo manualmente:
+            </p>
+            <source>
+
+                //
+                // para el nombre de la hoja
+                //
+                HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
+                HSSFSheet s = wb.createSheet();
+                wb.setSheetName( 0, "SomeUnicodeName", HSSFWorkbook.ENCODING_UTF_16 );
+
+
+                //
+                // para el valor de la celda
+                //
+                HSSFRow r = s.createRow( 0 );
+                HSSFCell c = r.createCell( (short)0 );
+                c.setCellType( HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_STRING );
+                c.setEncoding( HSSFCell.ENCODING_UTF_16 );
+                c.setCellValue( "\u0422\u0435\u0441\u0442\u043E\u0432\u0430\u044F" );
+
+            </source>
+            <p>
+            Asegúrate de que haces la llamada a setEncoding() antes de llamar a setCellValue(),
+            si no, lo que le pases no será interpretado correctamente.
+            </p>

+    <section><title>Breve Historia del Proyecto</title>
+
+        <p>
+        El proyecto POI se gestó tiempo atrás, cerca de abril de 2001,
+        cuando Andy Oliver obtuvo un contrato de corta duración para realizar
+        informes Excel basados en Java. Ya había realizado este proyecto unas
+        cuantas veces antes, y sabía exactamente dónde buscar las herramientas
+        que necesitaría.
+        Irónicamente, el API que solía utilizar se había disparado en precio
+        desde unos $300 ($US) hasta unos $10K ($US). Calculó que a dos personas
+        les llevaría unos seis meses el portar Excel así que le recomendó al
+        cliente que pagase los $10K.
+        </p>
+
+        <p>
+        Cerca de junio de 2001, Andy empezó a pensar lo genial que sería
+        tener una herramienta Java de código abierto para hacer esto y,
+        mientras tuvo algo de tiempo libre, comenzó el proyecto y aprendió
+        cosas sobre el Formato de Documento Compuesto OLE2. Tras chocarse
+        con varios obstáculos insalvables, se dio cuenta de que necesitaría ayuda.
+        Publicó un mensaje en su Grupo de Usuarios Java local (JUG) y
+        preguntó si alguien estaba interesado. Tuvo mucha suerte y el
+        programador Java de mayor talento que había conocido nunca,
+        Marc Johnson, se unió al proyecto. A Marc le llevó unas pocas
+        iteraciones el obtener algo con lo que estaban contentos.
+        </p>
+
+        <p>
+        Mientras Marc trabajaba en eso, Andy portó XLS a Java, basándose
+        en la biblioteca de Marc. Varios usuarios escribieron peticiones
+        para poder leer XLS (no sólo escribirlo como había sido planeado
+        originalmente) y un usuario tenía peticiones especiales para
+        un uso diferente de POIFS. Antes de que pasara mucho tiempo,
+        el alcance del proyecto se había triplicado. POI 1.0 se distribuyó
+        un mes más tarde de lo planeado, pero con muchas más características.
+        Marc escribió rápidamente el marco del serializador y el
+        Serializador HSSF en tiempo récord y Andy generó más documentación
+        y trabajó en hacer que la gente conociera este proyecto.
+        </p>
+
+        <p> 
+          Poco antes de la distribución, POI tuvo la fortuna de entrar
+          en contacto con Nicola -Ken- Barrozzi quien proporcionó ejemplos
+          para el Serializador HSSF y ayudó a descrubir sus desafortunados
+          fallos (que fueron arreglados de inmediato). Recientemente, Ken
+          portó la mayoría de la documentación del proyecto POI a XML
+          partiendo de los documentos HTML cutres que Andy había escrito
+          con Star Office.
+        </p>
+
+        <p>
+        Más o menos al mismo tiempo de la primera distribución, Glen Stampoultzis
+        se unió al proyecto. A Glen le molestaba la actitud impertinente de Andy
+        en lo que añadir capacidades gráficas a HSSF se refería. Glen se molestó
+        tanto que decidió coger un martillo y hacerlo él mismo. Glen ya se ha
+        convertido en parte integral de la comunidad de desarrollo de POI; sus
+        contribuciones a HSSF ya han comenzado a producir olas.
+        </p>
+
+        <p>
+         En algún momento decidimos finalmente remitir el proyecto a
+         <link href="http://xml.apache.org/cocoon">El Proyecto Cocoon
+         de Apache</link>, sólo para descubrir que el proyecto había
+         crecido encajando perfectamente con Cocoon hacía tiempo.
+         Lo que es más, Andy comenzó a ojear otros proyectos a los que
+         le gustaría que se añadiera la funcionalidad de POI. Así que
+         se decidió donar los Serializadores y Generadores a Cocoon, otros
+         componentes de integración con POI a otros proyectos, y los APIs
+         de POI pasarían a formar parte de Jakarta. Fue un camino con
+         baches, ¡pero parece que todo salió bien puesto que ahora estás
+         leyendo esto!
+        </p>
+
+    </section>
+
+    <section><title>¿Hacia dónde va POI?</title>
+        <p>
+        Primero abordaremos esto desde el punto de vista del proyecto:
+        Bueno, les hicimos la oferta a Microsoft y Actuate (de coña
+        ... en su mayor parte) de que dejaríamos el proyecto y nos
+        retiraríamos si simplemente nos firmaban a cada uno un cheque
+        con muchos ceros. Todavía estoy esperando una llamada o correo
+        electrónico, así que de momento asumo que no nos van a pagar
+        para quitarnos de en medio.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+         Después, tenemos algo de trabajo que hacer aquí en Jakarta
+         para terminar de integrar POI en la comunidad. Lo que es más,
+         todavía estamos realizando la transición del Serializador a 
+         Cocoon.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          HSSF, durante el ciclo 2.0, sufrirá varias optimizaciones.
+          También añadiremos nuevas características como una implementación
+          completa de Fórmulas y formatos de texto personalizados. Esperamos
+          ser capaces de generar ficheros más pequeños añadiendo soporte de
+          escritura para registros RK, MulRK y MulBlank. A día de hoy, la
+          lectura en HSSF no es muy eficiente. Esto se debe sobre todo a que
+          para escribir o modificar, uno necesita ser capaz de actualizar
+          punteros del flujo de subida (upstream pointers) a datos del flujo
+          de bajada. Para hacer esto hay que tener todo lo que haya en
+          medio en memoria. En vez de eso, un Generador permitiría que se 
+          procesaran eventos SAX. (Esto se basará en las estructuras de
+          bajo nivel). Una de las mejores cosas sobre esto es que así no sólo
+          tendremos una manera más eficiente de leer el fichero, también
+          tendremos una magnífica forma de utilizar hojas de cálculo como
+          fuentes de datos XML.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          El Serializador HSSF, se separará más aún en un marco genérico
+          para la creación de serializadores para otras plataformas y
+          en la implementación específica del serializador HSSF. (Esto ya
+          es cierto en gran medida). También añadiremos soporte para 
+          características ya soportadas por HSSF (estilos, fuentes, formatos
+          de texto). Esperamos añadir soporte para fórmulas durante este ciclo.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          Estamos empezando a expandir nuestro alcance de nuevo. Si pudimos
+          hacer todo esto para ficheros XLS, ¿qué hay de ficheros Doc o PPT?
+          Pensamos que nuestro siguiente componente (HDF - Formato de 
+          Documento Horrible) debería seguir el mismo patrón. Esperamos
+          que se nos una sangre nueva al equipo y que nos permita abordar
+          esto con mayor celeridad (en parte porque POIFS ya está terminado).
+          ¡Pero a lo mejor lo que más necesitamos es a ti!
