Re: HSSFR4 ss_cellName() function.

Take a look at the code... make a copy and make the parameters bigger.

It shouldn't be hard.

Fit this into my calling program - 'seems' to work for any value except
the absolute max value of int(10) - 2147483647, works for one less -
2147483646.
ie
this -- Row / Col......: 2147483646 100000
returns this -- EQXE2147483647
(i know, 100,000 columns... column "EQXE" . . . never gonna happen :-)
