R help - Jul 2004 - Do I need a special package to call a fortran program within R?

Hi, there,

I tried to use " system (command.txt)" to run a executive fortran code
(like a.out) within R. But the screen shows that " impossible to run"
this command. This is the first time I use R, so I was wondering if
there is a special package to run fortran program.  Any help will be
highly aprreciated.

What is command.txt? Does it inhertit the call of any executable? Or 
does it inherit fortran code?
If the latter, please read the mnaual "Writing R Extensions", if the 
former, please read ?system. (BTW: which OS, which version of R?)
