I'd be interested in the detail of what you linked to to get Rpvm working on Windows.
I've had a go at this using both the source and the binaries on windows. The problem I had was I don't have rsh only Openssh which I managed to get working on linux (client & server) in minutes with pvm. The attraction of MSYS was partly that it includes ssh in the DTK, since I need a wholey open-source solution. > -----Original Message----- > From: Simon Urbanek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 30 September 2003 18:43 > To: Marsland, John > Cc: 'Duncan Murdoch'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Rd] Adding Tk extensions to R for windows > > > On Tuesday, September 30, 2003, at 03:42 PM, Marsland, John wrote: > > > necessary for win32 systems.
