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

[Chris Gast]

I do primarily use ADMB in a Windows environment, with a standard
installation.  I have set up a number of scripts to automate simulations and
post-processing via the shell() function in R, but for the purposes you
describe, I believe my installation will suffice.
