        <h2>Rools Examples using spreadsheets/decision tables</h2>


	<p>Utilization of spreasheets to define business rules is becoming very popular these days.
Here are several example sthat have been borrowed from <a href="http://openrules.com/examples.htm">OpenRules</a></p>


	<p>They also recommend you to look at the case study
 <a href="http://openrules.com/docs/ClinicalGuidelines.htm">Clinical Guidelines</a></p>


	<p>Here are some examples that have been adapted for Rools:</p>


	<ul>
	<li><a href="../test/data/greetings.xls">greeting.xls</a></li>
		<li><a href="../test/data/salutations.xls">salutations.xls</a></li>
		<li><a href="../test/data/vacation.xls">vacation.xls</a></li>
		<li><a href="../test/data/loan.xls">loan.xls</a></li>
	</ul>


	<p>These examples have been created using Excel on the Macintosh.
The files are then saved as <span class="caps">CSV</span> files.  Make sure that no extraneous 
lines have been added by your favorite spreadhsheet program.</p>


	<p>And let me know if you have any difficulties&#8230;</p>
