Hi,

Thanks a lot.
It is very nice for me. Basically I use R statistical software, but it does not support sparse arrays. I recently noticed that J and R are communicate each other. R is very good especially for statistical computing with over 500 hundred libraries.

I sometimes use fortran or C programs through R with dyn.load and .Fortran.

---------- foo.c----------------------------
void foo(int *n, double *x, double *sum)

{
        int i;
        for (i = 0, *sum = 0.0; i < *n ; i++) {
                *sum += x[i];
        }
}
--------------------------------------------
 R CMD SHLIB foo.c
in R
>dyn.load("directory/foo.so")
>out<-.C("foo", as.integer(5), as.double(1:5), as.double(0))

However, when I try to use C or Fortran code, I  must do the following:
  R CMD Rserve
   load '~system/packages/stats/rdsock.ijs'
   '' conew 'prdsock'

|4|
+-+
   Rcmd 'dyn.load("/Users/kamakura/work/foo.so")'
   Rget'.C("foo", as.integer(5), as.double(1:5), as.double(0))'
+-+---------+--+
|5|1 2 3 4 5|15|
+-+---------+--+

I hope that the powerful J can handle this directly.
