The updated package has been submitted to CRAN and will propagate to mirrors over the next day or so. It is maintained on R-Forge at http://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/writexls , where downloads will be available as well. There is a transient problem at the moment with R-Forge and the build system, so there may be delays using R-Forge to get the updated package builds. Package: WriteXLS Version: 1.8.1 Description: Cross-platform perl based R function to create Excel (XLS) files from one or more data frames. Each data frame will be written to a separate named worksheet in the Excel spreadsheet. The worksheet name will be the name of the data frame it contains or can be specified by the user. Author(s): Marc Schwartz <marc_schwartz at me.com> Maintainer: Marc Schwartz <marc_schwartz at me.com> License: GPL (>=2) Changes since version 1.8.0: The data frames will be written to the Excel file in the order that they appear in 'x'. Note that this is a change in the default behavior, where due to Perl's file globbing, they would previously have been written in alpha sort order. The prior default behavior could result in a mis-match between the data frames written to the Excel worksheets and the user specified worksheet names as indicated in the 'SheetNames' argument (added recently in version 1.7.1), if present. As a result of the above change, File::Glob is no longer used and has been removed as a required Perl module for the package. References to File::Glob have been removed from the testPerl() function and all supporting files. The INSTALL file has been copied to the 'inst' package folder, so that it is installed in the main package directory. It will therefore be available both on the CRAN mirror page for the package and on the user's system as referenced in the help files. _______________________________________________ R-packages mailing list R-packages at r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-packages
