duncantl/RExcelXML: Tools for working with Excel XML documents

This is a collection of some general and quite simple facilities for working with Excel spreadsheets and workbooks. The ideas and some of the code should generalize to OpenOffice and other spreadsheets. At present this is intended as a relatively shallow implementation, and is aimed at providing a foundation to illustrate how one uses the XML and other packages to work with these types of documents. The hope is for others to contribute additional functionality or even take ownership of the package and extend it. We have developed functionality similar to this for Word and Excel using DCOM and the RDCOMClient facilities.
