* Introduction *
================
This project is the .NET port of POI project. With NPOI, you can read/write Excel and Word files easily. It has a wide application. 
For example, you can use it a to generate a Excel report without Microsoft Office suite installed on your 
server and more efficient than call Microsoft Excel ActiveX at background; you can also use it to extract 
text from Office documents to help you implement full-text indexing feature (most of time this feature is 
used to create search engines).

=========================
* Nissl Introduction *
=========================
NPOI was used to be maintained by Neuzilla ( Tony's first startup company).  After Neuzilla is closed in 2018, Nissl Lab maintains NPOI.
