Re: [R] R as COM client (rather than server)

2003-06-30 Thread Duncan Temple Lang 
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.

 There is a library rcom which does exactly what you are asking for.
 
 http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/rcom/
 
 always has the latest version of the R COM package,
 currently including the package for R as a client also.

  I've tried to look at the RDCOM documentation but could not figure out
  whether this can be done.
