Thank you for your answer,
I tested WriteXLS and openxlsx ... but it is perl based and most of the
Windows user do not have perl installed.
Therefore I would change the missing XlConnect with missing Perl
library. And that is more complicated, because the user has to add
something on operating system level. No chance f.e on University cip
pools and users unfamiliar with operating systems at all
-> gdata - I will check how to change it
Thank you Knut

I suggest NOT using "XLConnect". "sos" now uses WriteXLS.
"Ecfun" now uses "openxlsx".
Also, I received an email from CRAN maintainers months ago saying
that "gdata" was being obsoleted. It's still on CRAN with a date of
2017-06-06 and a huge number of reverse dependencies. The CRAN
maintainers may have gotten someone to agree to take it over who just
hasn't finished fixing whatever deficiencies it has. However, you might
see how difficult it might be to do without "gdata" as well.
