I'm also working on that, and I would like to integrate it in R.

I've written a DOS program some years ago and I've reworked the core code,
following E.Beals, 1984.

I've the sources of twinspan (I should search them ...). For the other I've
some matlab code, the code developed by Legendre.
However I think the right way would be to port the ADE-4
(http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/ADE-4/ADE-4.html)
programs to R.
I know that the source code is public, but I wasn' t able to obtain it two
years ago. As the developers have put links to S-PLUS and Rweb on the cited
web page, I think that a work carried mainly by an istitution could be
appreciated: it would mean to port to R some wonderful methods of data
ecological data analysis: I'm strongly interested in (doing) it.
I've a good background in C programming and in multivariate analysis: I
would like to help if needed and possible.
