xlsReadWritePro natively reads and writes Excelfiles (v97 - 2003) on Windows. I have uploaded a small bugfix update thereof. Fixes: • error with dimnames in 1-dimensional arrays • misleading error (assertion) messages with wrong from/to arguments.

It is more powerful than the (also capable) free version, but beeing a small company, we are glad if people support our development and maintenance effort (more than expected have done, thanks). A gratis version is available for people who need/want it. Otherwise there is always our free xlsReadWrite version (where our own code is free (GPLv2).
