|IsEXCELrunning| returns a simple logical "true"/"false" based on whether there is an instance of EXCEL running. Since many Matlab ActX calls may bonk if there's already some instance running, this allows a check.
It also allows a "Force Kill" option to close all EXCEL processes.
This is useful because a number of ActiveX based calls used by Matlab (e.g. xlswrite) may fail if they attempt to open a COM connection while a process is already running.
