R help - Oct 2006 - any good way to convert sp class objects to splancs object

Greetings:

are there any simple ways to convert an sp class object to a splancs ppp class 
object, outside of reading the coordinates and computing a bounding box?

cheers,

Aren't ppp class objects from the spatstat package? Have you tried the 
spspatstat wrapper package on the R-spatial sourceforge repository? The 
as() coerce method should get you there.

If you really mean splancs, there are not wrappers yet, but are on their 
way.

(Consider posting on R-sig-geo for specific questions like this).
