Hi, I'm trying to set up a server which allows different users to use R simultaneously. Is it possible in Windows? I know that a LINUX Server is probably a better option, but I had already created a GUI with Tcl/tk in Windows. So some of the events don't work in LINUX. Thanks in advance, Srpd _________________________________________________________________ m só local. rk-connector.aspx [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

As for any other software, each user can start own instances of R. Uwe Ligges> I know that a LINUX Server is probably a better option, but I had already created a GUI with Tcl/tk in Windows.

So some of the events don't work in LINUX.You need Windows Terminal Server 2008 (or 2003) plus the right client access licenses (CALs) depending on how you expect the machine to be used. A thousand dollars gets you a single server license plus 5 CALs. Then your 5 users connect to it from their Windows PCs using the Windows Remote Desktop Connection program. So your users will need Windows XP (or Vista, or 7) licenses as well, unless they have linux/mac desktops in which case they can use rdesktop to connect. Is it a thousand dollars worth of hassle to make your Tcl/Tk program OS-independent? Plus the time it takes to learn how to set up and admin a Windows TS 2008 box... Barry
