reading xls files using read.xls and xlsReadWrite

[tmrsg11]

Dear R list,
I am trying to read in .xls files.  I have tried using package 'gdata', I
get the following error.

> dataset <- read.xls("June.xls")

Wide character in print at
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.14/Resources/library/gdata/perl/
xls2csv.pl line 262.
Seems like this is a problem coming from Perl?

I tried to install package 'xlsReadWrite', it does not show up on my list
of packages.

I am using a Mac.

Thanks,
Bob

I don't know much about gdata, but I can tell you that there is still no
version of xlsReadWrite on Mac (unfortunately). xlsx works well, though,
on both Mac and Windows.

HTH,
Ivan
