[R] WriteXLS problem

[Dejian Zhao]

  The maximum number of rows in excel 2003 or below is 65535, less than 
your number of rows, so if you export your data into "xls" files, 
probably you cannot see all your data in excel. Exel 2007 can hold as 
many as 1048575 lines, thus "xlsx" file is a better choice.
