I know there is some integration between Grass and R available, but has anyone produced a link between R and MFWorks. I am considering Buying MFWorks (Windows) and it would be useful to know if anyone has written such a link.

One place to start is the R GDAL package: http://keittlab.bio.sunysb.edu/R/GDAL/ which reads a number of formats, and writes a number too. This gives a basis for prototyping a loose linkage. We use MFworks, and I have written a loose linkage interface (some time ago) using connections to import an exported binary raster map into R. The devil was in the details - the byte-swapping in the Windows manual was, as far as I recall, wrong in relation to the user guide. I don't know how easy it would be to do tight coupling, reading into R from MFWorks' own project data store, or writing from R to the MFWorks project store. GRASS can be compiled under cygwin, and the R-GRASS interface is reported as working under Windows. Please contact me off-list if that might help. Maybe GDAL will do what you need, using the TIFF/GEOTIFF format, since MFWorks imports TIFF/GEOTIFF, and exports TIFF. Roger
