You may be already aware of this, but gnumeric (also available for Win32
if you need it) provides a command-line tool called ssconvert that will
take a csv file produced by gretl and turn it into a perfectly legit xls
file.
You may either write a script that calls ssconvert, call ssconvert from
within gretl via "!" or, better still, rip the C code from gnumeric and
incorporate it into gretl if you really need this functionality badly.
