R help - Oct 2004 - Interfacing R_project from program languages

Hello,
I need an information: is it possible to  call the statistical R_project
funtions from a C or Fortran application? In the r_exts.pdf manual I found that
is possible to interface R-project with compiled C/Fortran routines, but I
didn't found anything about the opposite situation.
Thanks in advance

Yes. See developer.r-project.org, and www.omegahat.org, and for Windows 
look at the rw-FAQ about COM facilities.

There will be a section about this in R-exts.pdf (sic) in the next 
release, as I am currently writing it.  Look also in the tests/Embedding 
directory.
