R help - Jul 2007 - Extracting S code from a C program

There is a C program called GPS: 'gamma poisson shrinker' at
ftp://ftp.research.att.com/dist/gps/
The algorithms in GPS are based on S-Plus programs written by William
DuMouchel with support from Columbia University and AT&T Labs. 
My question is: is there a relatively easy way to extract some of the S code
from this windows program? Thanks.

No.  From the description, there's no S code there to extract, it's been
translated to C, and you don't even have the source code.

I'd recommend contacting Dr. DuMouchel to see if he is willing to let 
you have his S code.
