=====================================
Bob Muenchen's book "R for SAS and SPSS users" provides a systematic
transition plan (if I may use that term) for SAS and SPSS users
intending to work on/migrate to R. Having been a newly transformed R
user myself, I'm inclined to believe that creating yet another package
that just houses some SAS procedures--sounding names for data
manipulation/summarization would add to fair bit of confusion.
my $.02..
