There is another way to read and write excel files using jakarta POI. Hopefully, I'll have a package available in a week or so. I have a working example of writing a matrix from R to excel, but I haven't finished the read excel portion of the code. If anyone wants to give it a spin, contact me off list and I'll send a copy.

Tobias Verbeke's kind suggestion of read.xls from the gdata package (from the gregmisc bundle) works like a charm. It's perl based, so no problema on Linux. The R community is wonderful! cheers, Rolf Turner ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
