Just for the record, the contributed package rcdd links the GMP (GNU multiprecision bignum) library and provides a crude interface, so it is "implemented in R", although, as you say, "most R calculations cannot use it". The rcdd package can do exact linear programming and other computational geometry operations. -- Charles Geyer Professor, School of Statistics University of Minnesota char...@stat.umn.edu ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
