[R] Writing Reports from R in Microsoft Office Open XML format (follow-up)

[David Winsemius]

That website says:
"Our components and applications for seamless integration allow to  
embed statistics software from the R project and data analysis and  
computation services from Scilab into applications on Microsoft  
Windows, MacOS X and Linux."

Does anyone know if the claim to be supporting versions for Mac and  
Linux has substance? None of the applications that I attempted  
accessing from that download site appear to be *NIX compatible. They  
are all .exe files or require statconnDCOM, which I do not believe  
runs outside of WinXP.
