[ADMB Users] Volunteer needed: ADMB, Windows & R user

[Mollie Brooks]

Thanks Chris,
Are you running ADMB on the Ubuntu side or the WIndows side? We need someone familiar with running it under Windows. The goal is to make it work automatically for Windows users without much fooling around which involves getting R2admb to automatically find the installed version of ADMB on a typical computer.

I am doing a lot of work using this package and would like for it to be usable by anyone who wants it (e.g. collaborators). So far it works on Mac and Linux operating systems. On Windows computers, it will write the .dat and .pin files and read the output, but it won't run ADMB.

We are looking for a volunteer who already uses ADMB in Windows and has experience with R also. This would involve trying to use functions in R2admb on your computer and telling Ben what goes wrong.
