R help - Jul 2008 - Calling and running a compiled program inside R

Hi,
    I need to use the outputs from a complied program (*.exe program
that is made by some one else) for numerous data sets and use R with the
outputs for some computations.   I thought that it would be very
efficient if I can use R from the beginning to the end by calling the
exe program and run it within R, continuing the computations based on
the outputs.  Are there any calling function for the exe program (dos
application) or any efficient way to do this?
   Please let me know.
   Thank you so much.
   Insu
