[R] dyn.load and/or add new package (Windows 98) - ratfor

[Kjetil Halvorsen]

I also have planned to get Koenker's quantile regression functions to
work under R (Windows), but cannot find something which understands
ratfor.  If anyone can point me to that, I'll give it a try soon.

Specifically to the Q's:

1) dyn.load("d:\\...\\rq.obj")
> 2) dyn.load("d:\...\rq.obj")

Trying to lode the code compiled for S is optimistic, I beleave
that to be 16-bit DLL's which R will not understand. They must
be recompiled, which is easy, given that the ratfor problem can be
solved.
