[R] Read.xls in gdata

[Bos, Roger]

All,  

When I use gdata::read.xls to read in an excel file it seems to round
the data to three decimal places and also converts the dates to factors.
Does anyone know how to 1) get more precision in the numeric data and 2)
how to prevent the dates from being converted to levels or factors?  I
tries settings as.is=TRUE, but that didn't help.

Thanks, Roger
