1. There was a post last month on r-help regarding this batch converter:
http://www.analytics.washington.edu/statcomp/downloads/xls2csv

2. Googling for 
    xls to csv 
will likely locate other alternatives too.

3. You can read the .xls directly into R as shown in the R Data Import/Export
manual and then write it out as a text file.
