Hi Horst,
You are right. To pipe data to & from OIO, what we need is an adapter. Whether the
adapter uses files, pipes, or a shared database, that will depend on what the
statiscal package is capable of.
Whether MacAnova is better or R is better, I don't know enough to say. But the idea
is certainly to pipe data to & from OIO rather than re-inventing the wheel!
