Hello:

What should I do regarding code to write an Excel file in a non-Windows platform?

The "sos" package [new version of "RSiteSearch"] on R-Forge includes "writeFindFn2xls", which starts with "require(RODBC)". The next line calls "odbcConnectExcel". This works under Windows but fails under Linux and MacOS.

What would you suggest we do about this?

It currently tests (.Platform$OS.type == "windows"); if(FALSE), it issues an error, saying that it only works under Windows. Also, the help page skips those tests if the the platform is not Windows.

If there is a better way to handle this, I would like to know.

     Thanks,
     Spencer
