[Greg Holmberg]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #60825 (project octave):

Philip, thank you for taking the time out of your vacation to look into this!

I worked around this problem by using UNO.  Since I already had LibreOffice
7.0 installed, it was easy to configure Octave to use it on Linux:

chk_spreadsheet_support ('', 0, '/usr/lib/libreoffice')

I've found the performance to be quite good.

It also lets me read/write .xlsx files, so works around the problem OCT has
with those.

The only drawback is, it sometimes causes LibreOffice to exit!

Someday I hope to be able to write a LibreOffice macro to save the spreadsheet
file, run the Octave script to update the spreadsheet, and reload the file. 
Practically like the built-in recalc.  So, causing LibreOffice to exit will be
a problem.  I may have to look into JOD...

Thanks again,

Greg
