Subject: Re: [R] R as COM client (rather than server)
There is also the Omegahat collection of packages for DCOM
which supports R as a client, user-definable server objects and event
handlers. Together, RDCOMClient and RDCOMServer (and the SWinRegistry and
SWinTypeLibs packages) provide a general way to handle arbitrary data types
in R and COM. There is a description of how this differs from the S-Plus
approach and Thomas' rdcom package.
See http://www.omegahat.org/RDCOMClient
