S-code for piecewise regression

Dear R-helpers,
a S-code for piecewise regressions was provided by Toms & Lesperance 
(2003) Ecology, 84, 2034-2041 (paper can be found on the web).The code 
is quite complete with different types of transitions around breakpoints 
and model selection fonctions.
It doesn't work directly under R due to some "translation" problems I 
guess. However I  reckon that  it would be a  valuable  add-on to R, so 
if anyone that knows both S and R syntax (I don't) doesn't know what to 
do during the week-end, it could provide some entertainment...
attached is the code.
regards,
simon

Umm, I don't think posting 1200 lines on nonworking code to r-help is
the right way to go about this, especially since the code is not
yours. I'm pretty sure you didn't read (or if you did, you certainly
didn't understand)

The right way is of course to volunteer as maintainer for an R
package (maybe after finding someone to help you iron out the
wrinkles), contact the authors and the journal to get permission to
publish under the GPL and submit to CRAN.
