applying a regression kriging model outside gstats

Ordinary kriging and hence also RK are matrix algebra 
(http://spatial-analyst.net/book/system/files/RK5points.zip <-- look for 
the excel file). If you have model parameters (betas, vgm parameters), 
then it should be relatively easy to implement to generate predictions 
(you do not need gstat or similar). Problems might happen if the number 
of points is very high >>1000 so solving matrices can take time (in 
which case using a search radius etc is a good idea) or if you have to 
generate predictions for large areas... or you do not work with a linear 
model...

Hi,
I have produced a regression kriging model using gstats that I want to deliver to a wide range of users to predict values for new sites using the web or as part of a simple computer software (e.g. Visual Basic software).  Is there a simple way of doing that or do I need to use R and gstats to produce predictions?
Many thanks
Marc

If you don't want to reimplement kriging in VIsual Basic and "using the
web" means what I think it means, you can make your model accessible via
something like Shiny or one of the other R-Web interfaces described in the
R Web Technology Task View.

These methods qualify as "simple", for some values of "simple"....
