Hi,
I have an R script (transferred from SPLUS) and would like to compile a
standalone EXE (or DLL)
for WINNT. Would somebody know how this works or how it could be done ?
Thanks so much for any hints and suggestions; best regards

Hi, Falk: When you wrote "transferred from SPLUS", I got concerned: Is this S-Plus script something you or a colleague wrote or part of S-Plus? I assume it is NOT part of Insightful's intellectual property (IP). If it is, I would stay far away. I'm not an attorney, but I would expect that Insightful might sue, and if they did, they might easily win. We must meticulously respect Insightful's IP. If any Insightful IP finds its way into an officially sanctioned R package, it could be very serious.

Would somebody know how this works or how it could be done ?To do what exactly? You cannot compile R code to machine code: you need an R interpreter. I don't see the point of having a single script as an application anyway: don't you need some control, e.g. of the input? It is possible to write a graphical front end in e.g. Visual Basic and use that to send a script to an embedded R interpreter (most easily by DCOM under Windows, but it can be done directly). Perhaps you could start at the beginning and tell us what you want to achieve (rather than asking for some specific technical solution)? -- Brian D.
