* Introduction *
================
This project is the .NET port of POI project at http://poi.apache.org/. POI is an open source java project 
which can help you read/write xls, doc, ppt files. 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).
