I did know about contrib/spreadsheet, but I missed that it can work with a 
Table. I think RTable has quite some funcionatlity not present in 
contrib/spreadsheet. In particular, I cannot use it for my two latest apps. 
But hell, yes! it would have been great to know that. I'd have started from 
there instead if strating from scratch.

Ho do I know if it's useful for other people, other than asking here?. I 
have some time that I'd love to use to make the improvements more useful, 
but it's limited. I'd work in those features that spark more interest. For 
example, I could rebuild the file manager plugin, with the addition for zip 
files, and update to the latest version of corefive FileManager. Is that 
more useful than a RTable plugin?
