PLEASE read the README: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.3/@ReadMe and see the check summary at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/checkSummaryWin.html snow runs distributed R tasks across hosts: it has three modes and prefers PVM and MPI if packages rpvm or Rmpi are available (which they are not for Windows). As a result only some of its functionality can be used on Windows, and anyone who is going to get involved at that level of programming will very easily install the package from the sources. -- Brian D.
