Thanks for your work on this. The issue of Windows only should really be more visible on the main README.md file. on your repo front page. I was looking for package that would work on linux and your commit messages are the only place that mention an operating system. Commit from Linux - lineendings are changed Would you please update this? Kind regards,

@r0bis There is a sentence Microsoft Excel is required for this package. in the package description on CRAN. I will also add a warning to the readme for GitHub users. As for mention Linux - CRAN team requires that package pass CRAN check on Linux. I don't know why they want it but I made it.

Thanks, I did not notice that sentence, sorry. But I think that Github Readme is a significantly more visible piece of description; maybe I am wrong, but for me it is; so it would not hurt to put a warning there too.
