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,

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.
Warning message: package ‘excel.link’ is not available (for R version 3.6.1)
