[R] Integer programming in R

[Robin Naidoo]

Dear all,

I am a relative newcomer to the R language, and am sussing out 
the possibilities of using R to do integer programming (which I am 
also new to).  Is there something along the lines of the NUOPT S-
PLUS package that is available, or on the way, for R?  Are there 
other options for integer programming in R?  

Thanks very much in advance,
