Changes since version 1.6.0:

if() manner without console output

worksheet names

3. Added various checks to code for unique worksheet names, worksheet
names <= 31 chars, length(SheetNames) == length(x)

4. Added check for invalid worksheet names for chars []:*?/\\

5. Added argument \'--SN\' to WriteXLS.pl to support SheetNames from
WriteXLS.R

6. Modified WriteXLS.pl to handle SheetNames.txt file and related
activity

7. Substantive changes to WriteXLS.Rd to describe new function arguments
and additional validity checks.

8. Fixed typos in e-mail in both help files.

9. New \'envir\' argument to WriteXLS to enable WriteXLS to be wrapped
in other functions and locate the data frames to be written.

10. Reduced SystemRequirements in DESCRIPTION file to only those Perl
modules not included in the package.

11. Added TRUE/FALSE invisible return values to WriteXLS to enable the
function to be tested for success or failure. Note that error messages
