    I think there are two issues here <br>
         i) how to link the existing ADMB interface to R and<br>
         ii) how to integrate  ADMB/Autodiff C++ classes with R S4
    classes<br>
    <br>
    I feel with a bit of concerted effort (ii) will be more productive.<br>
    It is obvious that a lot of work is being done already with linking
    R & ADMB. There are also a lot of tools in R that allow
    developers to take advantage of C++ classes and since ADMB is open
    source we can add new methods to ADMB.<br>
    <br>
    I suggest that those actively working in this area try to see how we
    can pool our efforts.<br>

            <div><br>
              <div>You may have heard about the R package R2admb by Ben
                Bolker which runs ADMB from R. 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. </div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>Ben is looking for someone to help him debug the
                package on a Windows computer because he doesn't have
                ADMB running on a Windows computer. 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.</div>
              <div><br>

              <div>thanks,</div>
