axs [ options ] [ file [ arguments ] ]

DESCRIPTION
axs invokes the AFNIX cross spreadsheet. The axs client is a font-end tool for the AFNIX spreadsheet library. The command tool is built on top of the AFNIX interpreter and therefore supports all the language capabilities. The spreadsheet commands are meant to provide an extra layer of interface that ease the access to a folio sheets.
