import.data.rte in R?

Hello,

in the fBasics pdf file, page 108, it is said that import.data.rte downloads
data from Reuters Feed. I have both Bloomberg and Reuters, but not S-Plus (I
work with R). Is there a way to have both (or at least one) datafeeds in R?

Another question: I guess that import.data.rte is a function that is called
from an R session, and it downloads data into some R object. Is it possible
to create a script that automatically sends these data into a database?

thank you

I've done it for Bloomberg (and LIM) using their C-level APIs, and talked
about it at UseR. At this point I cannot release the code for it.  We use
Reuters too, but I haven't had a need for it yet.
I'd try the (D)COM interface by Neuwirth and Baier [ and version 1.35 was
just released: http://cran.r-project.org/contrib/extra/dcom/RSrv135.html ]

Other suggestions, anyone?
