It doesn't work. I get in Excel something very similar to what I got
copying the -list- output, all variables from each observation
(disease) in the same cell, separated by commas:


eq,estimate,ci
hypertension,14.3,"(12,6-16,1)"
artrosis,14.0,"(12,1-15,8)"
alergy,10.4,"(8,8-12,1)"
.
.
.


Note that ci is a new string variable obtained from min95 and max95,
but I don't think this matters.

Best regards,


Angel
