xlsReadWrite is an R package which allows to read and write Excel files natively, without any dependencies such as Excel, ODBC drivers, Perl, Python or Java.

Supported is the .xls file format (BIFF8).

Our own code is free (GPL-2) but we also use proprietary code which can only be distributed legally in compiled form and the package contains a binary library. (The CRAN version generates a placeholder dll/so and the regular library must be downloaded with 'xls.getshlib()').
  • System requirements: Windows 32-bit.
  • License: the xlsReadWrite package including the pre-compiled dynamic library can be freely distributed and used for any purpose. All components other than xlsReadWrite.dll/so are licensed under GPL version 2 with an explicit exception to allow to link the non-free flexcel code.
  • Requirements to compile for yourself: License for Delphi 2007 and Flexcel.
