Anybody interested in the S maps library for R? I have ported a limited version of the software for a Unix platform, and would be happy to make it available for anybody interested. If there is a lot of interest then I will submit it to CRAN. I know that Ross Ihaka is working on a new version for R, which does not have some of the limitations of the original S version. My version does not do projections or thinning but will accept the standard S[-Plus] database files (*.[GLN]).

Maps via R would be very handy.

Anything is better than nothing, so if your port works in some way I suggest that you submit it!
