R help - Oct 2003 - R-OpenOffice.org Calc

I have been very satisfied with R-Excel interface (DCOM). Few months ago
I have changed my OS to Linux-Mandrake, and now I am using
OpenOffice.org Calc as spreadsheet. I would like to know does exist some
R-OpenOffice.org interface or how is possible to use R-functions in
OpenOffice.org Calc?

Thanks a lot!

  I think all you need to do is download the SDK:

http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sdk/index.html

  then read and understand both the 900 page OpenOffice SDK manual, and 
everything there is to know about R internals. Then write an extension 
for OpenOffice Calc that uses UNO to communicate between Calc and the R 
library. You'll probably have to use C++.

  The spreadsheet section of the SDK doc starts at page 535, by the way...

  Or is there a quicker way?
