[R] R as a COM client - is it possible?

[Søren Højsgaard]

Dear all,

In S+, there are functions like

	create.ole.object
	call.ole.method
	release.ole.object

for communicating with other programs which work as a COM server (on
Windows).

Is it possible to do something similar in R (I've studied the 'connections'
facilities, but they do not seem to work).
