Igor and David and Paolo,

 Eladio sent me all of the matlab code for those programs,and I have them
on dropbox. I was originally planning on porting it to R, but then Paulo
and I chatted a few months back, and I figured he would make an R package
that among other things included the approach implemented in LORY (among
others) so I figure it would be better for me to be patient for a fully
implemented R library. Not sure if that is in the cards, Paolo?

In any case, if this is ok with David and Eladio, I can provide a link to
the matlab code for LORY if that is relevant. What I don't have is the
specific scripts for the examples in the paper itself.
