A naive question: what happened to the xlsReadWrite package? http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/xlsReadWrite/ It says that it was removed from the CRAN repository. Are there any plans for it be available again? Thanks, Andrew [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

> what happened to the xlsReadWrite package?[snip]> Are there any plans for it be available again?Yes. (I do have a halfway finished version but then had much work on my regular job, my 'free-programming-time' got eaten by a e-texteditor plugin (http://github.com/swissr/rmate.tmbundle/tree/master) which took longer than expected and now was/will be again holiday time..). Sorry for being so slow but at least and as it was mentioned (thanks) the package can be downloaded here: http://treetron.googlepages.com/xlsReadWrite_1.3.3.zip. It has been tested with R2.9.0 and the recent 2.9.1. Cheers, Hans-Peter
