Thanks for the clarification Ted. I was more thinking along the lines of "native" compilation as opposed passing the code to a filtering/conversion program prior to compilation. I perhaps could have picked a better example of two languages where an intermediate filter/conversion program was not available. :-) Marc ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
