[R] Ox (was: Using Gauss with R)

[Francisco Cribari]

I'll be even more tangent. Those interested in Ox, see

This is a tangent to your question.

The economist Jurgen Doornik has written a language called Ox:
http://www.nuff.ox.ac.uk/Users/Doornik/doc/ox/ox.htm
It obviously caters to econometricians. The unix version is free.

I did use it at one time before R was really rolling. I used it for MLE
because I think at that time there was no nlm() routine in R yet!  Ox
seemed fine though had no graphics.

Anyway I am mentioning this in case Ox is similar to Gauss. I know that Ox
is C-like, maybe Gauss is too, and so maybe not too hard to port Gauss
progs to Ox.
