The re-engineered bigmemory package is now available (Version 3.5 and above) on CRAN. We strongly recommend you cease using the older versions at this point. bigmemory now offers completely platform-independent support for the big.matrix class in shared memory and, optionally, as filebacked matrices for larger-than-RAM applications. We're working on updating the package vignette, and a draft is available upon request (just send me an email if you're interested). The user interface is largely unchanged. Feedback, bug reports, etc... are welcome. Jay Emerson & Michael Kane -- John W.
