[R] RExcel, ROOo and LibreOffice inquiry

[John Kane]

Can you supply a link for ROOo ? I don't see it anywhere. 

Also what do you mean" OpenOffice is deprecated"?  Do you mean in terms of using it with ROOo?   Otherwide OOo, now under new management at Apache is under active development under the name Apache Open Office.
