I already submitted the changes necessary to fix the compiler "confusion," as you know. It is not true that R needs to be built using Visual Studio in order to use DLL's that are created by Visual Studio. VS DLL's can simply be copied over MinGW DLL's and R will not know the difference. Of course, it is also possible to test and use the C++ part of an R pacckage from the VS IDE. Dominick
