[R] Help with package RDCOMClient

[Prof Brian Ripley]

>From the posting guide:

`If the question relates to a contributed package , e.g., one downloaded 
from CRAN, try contacting the package maintainer first. You can also use 
find("functionname") and packageDescription("packagename") to find this 
information. Only send such questions to R-help or R-devel if you get no 
reply or need further assistance. This applies to both requests for help 
and to bug reports.'

RDCOMClient is a contributed package on the Omegahat repository, and the 
maintainer (Duncan Temple Lang) is by far the most likely source of help.
