Writing Extensions for R under Windows: is it better for GUIs to 
communicate with R via Rgui.exe, Rterm.exe or R.dll?

In the construction of extensions (GUIs) for R, in the establishment of 
communication, according to the options below:

1- Rgui.exe (via Windows API) vs. R.dll (embedded R)
2- Rterm.exe (via IPC) vs. R.dll (embedded R)

What are the advantages and disadvantages in each case?

I would like to take advantage of the email to thank Tomas Kalibera for 
his efforts in solving the problems
of R 4.2.0 communication and the Tinn-R project. Once fixed the issues 
in R that surfaced
due to using GraphApp (cross-platform GUI Library in C for Windows) it 
was possible to fix the communication issues in Tinn-R
with Rterm.exe and Rgui.exe. Version 9.01.XX.XX with the corrections 
will be released soon. At the moment we are in
extensive testing phase.

Thanks in advance,

If you have software to deal with statistics, you have arms,
if you have good software, you have arms and legs,
if you have software like R, you have arms, legs and wings...
the height of your flight depends only on you.
