Some people here have started using CASIM, which is an add-on we got a while back for S-Plus that allows one to spawn an S-Plus process from a C program and communicate with it. How hard do folks think it would be to develop such an interface for R? I might try it, but I'm not completely sure I'm up to it (although it would exercise my programming skills). Also, I wonder again at the ethics of looking at the CASIM header files (which came from StatSci) when trying to work up an R interface -- although I notice that the header files say "CSIRO division of Mathematics and Statistics" on them rather than "StatSci" ...
