[R-sig-finance] RDCOMClient libarary compatibility

[Molins, Jordi]

Hi,

I have gone to  http://www.omegahat.org/RDCOMClient/, I have downloaded the
binary, and installed it through InstallPackage(s)FromLocal Zipfiles. but I
get the same error message as Jonathan. BTW, that web page was last modified
on 2003, and at least in the last minutes, the README.html and INSTALL.html
files are "not found".

Does anybody know what can we do about it? I also would like to learn how to
download data from Bloomberg using the RDCOMClient. Is there somebody else
who has tried that already?

Cheers

Jordi
