Looks straightforward, but does not fancy-pants formatting. If that is sufficient, could one not borrow Greg's approach from read.xls() [ in package gdata, part of the unbundled gregmisc bundle ] and create a simpler write.xls() that uses Perl's SpreadSheet::WriteExcel to write xls files -- just like Greg uses the related SpreadSheet::ReadExcel to read xls files ? That way you avoid the configure hassles of the Java module you use here [ if I recall correctly, you borrowed this from an Apache sub-project, no ? ] Cheers, Dirk ______________________________________________ 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
