R help - Oct 2002 - Image treatement

Hello, I'm begining with R and I'm very interested to treat satellite 
images with it. I want to ask you:
a) Is it possible to read binary files with R?
b) How could I view images (in a matrix array format) with R?

thank you very much
Carlos

yes, typically using readBin()

using image().

help(readBin)  and  help(image)  should get you further.
