R help - Oct 2006 - bi-directional sockets

Hello R-helpers!

I am new to R, but having a rough time with the socketConnection function. I
cannot seem to get bi-directional communication to work. I have tried loads
of possible ways, based on the manual's examples, but the result is always
one or the other process hanging.

Could anyone give me a working example of R code that:
- creates a socket,
- listens for data ,
- reads the data,
- writes a reply.

Without hanging or causing the sending process to hang.

I would greatly appreciate any help.

thanks,
gf: http://gratefulfrog.net

Check out these packages:
- Ryacas (on omegahat) -- sockets between R and yacas
- mimR (on CRAN) -- sockets between R and mim (Windows only)
