Hi Duncan Thanks for the information, this looks very nice.
Best regards David PS Some of the links on http://www.omegahat.org/RDCOMClient are broken. -----Original Message----- From: Duncan Temple Lang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 June 2003 15:58 To: Erich Neuwirth Cc: DED (David George Edwards); '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [R] R as COM client (rather than server) There is also the Omegahat collection of packages for DCOM which supports R as a client, user-definable server objects and event handlers. Together, RDCOMClient and RDCOMServer (and the SWinRegistry and SWinTypeLibs packages) provide a general way to handle arbitrary data types in R and COM. There is a description of how this differs from the S-Plus approach and Thomas' rdcom package.
