The non-FOSS API is not the problem(#) but its implementation is: The 3rd party library I use is written in Pascal and supports Delphi and Kylix. Kylix would allow to port the package to Linux but as Kylix has unfortunately been abandoned by CodeGear (Borland) I am not ready/interested to spend my time on this dead road. Though it probably could be done quickly. A much more interesting way is to port the package using FreePascal. --> I plan to do this since long but... --> Maybe someone fluent on Linux and FreePascal could have a look at the pascal header files (treetron.googlepages.com) and make the demos run on Linux..., that would be great and speed up an eventual xlsReadWrite port! -- Regards, Hans-Peter (#) at least for people who are not in principle opposed to run a package which contains a non-FOSS code part. ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
