$cell:=XLS WORKSHEET Set cell text ($sheet;$row;$col;$format;$text)
XLS CELL RELEASE ($cell)  //we don't need this reference any more, so release 
it.
If you do not RELEASE the references, your application will leak memory like a 
bucket without bottom…
If your excel sheets are not too big, this might not matter, but...

I am also using the first one ( XLS :
https://github.com/miyako/4d-plugin-xls ) and have been for years.

I was quite surprised to learn about releasing objects. When does one have
to do that? The release commands do not appear in my command list in 4D.

TIA

I am using the first one XLS (4d-plugin-xls)
It is a bit more complex to program as you need to release objects etc, but is 
is far more stable, especially on mac.
And also more versatile when it comes to formatting cells.
XLS II tends to crash a lot, at least on mac.
On windows it is quite reliable.
So unless you require Mac, the choice is yours, compare the features and decide 
what you need.
