I just wonder: why should R and its community try to support such an awful program, with its protected formats and unmantained features/bugs? I mean, from both philosophical and technical point of view: R is free software and should rather try to be 'viral' than to compete. It already has the strength, in my humble opinion.
You want to use excel: go and use, you payed for it, so you have a commercial support elsewhere. You are not able to communicate with other applications? That's the fault of excel, not of R, which is free software and uses well documented formats. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
