RE: XLSReadWrite and Octave for Windows

I was hoping to be able to create a spreadsheet with multiple tabs. If CSV
is the only choice, I will have to look at different ways of presenting the
data.

That seems about right. As a workaround, can you use cvs for now instead of
xls?

There's plenty of software that we could use in order to implement
writing to xls if you really need to. I could throw this into my wish
list pile if you really want it. I've done stuff like this in the
past. The old binary MSFT formats are actually not that hard to
understand.
