Thanks Alex, I will eventually post this to a broader audience. I've used liblas and lastools, but the aim here is for a pure R implementation that is built directly from the LAS specification without 3rd party tools.
The R code already works quite well to extract x/y/z/time/intensity, it just needs some extra work to tidy up and generalize things and ensure that very big datasets can be read. Cheers, Mike.
