Hi James,

No there's no windows dependency. If you're looking for a library to 
write excel files though, "gem install spreadsheet-excel" - I've used it 
a bit and it works fairly well.

I've also written my own fairly limited excel writer (because i needed 
biff8) which I'll release when I clean it up.

Aside from this though, you shouldn't need to use copy & paste just to 
generate a spreadsheet using excel directly?
