[R] R and DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange)

[Philippe Grosjean]

Hello Vincent,

I think there is not much else than tcltk2. It is a complete 
implementation of DDE (client/server), so it should fit your needs. 
There are lots of examples on the man page. Please, if you think it 
could be helpful for other users, do submit examples. I think real-time 
acquisition of data through DDE under Windows would interest a couple of 
users (including myself).
Best,

Philippe Grosjean
