Hi! I wonder if anyone has experiences of calling other programs from R (i.e., not C or Fortran programs). Specifically I want to call LEM from R and execute it in a loop to process its output in R. Thanks, Tim Liao

I don't know what LEM is. If it's a language that can produce DLLs or .so's, then it should be straightforward to call them. If it's a program using standard input and output, the system() function is what you want. Duncan Murdoch

Nor do, I, but my guess is that it is the program referred to at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/jsuebersax/soft.htm#LEM Perhaps Tim F Liao can enlighten us.
