[R-sig-Geo] OGR dataset to R

[Fernando González Cortés]

Hello,

        I'm new to R and I was looking for a package to read different
kinds of datasets (shapefiles, postGIS, dxf, ...) when I received this
mail. I've read the answers to this mail so I know that the RMap package
can do it. Is there another way to do it using grass? has it any
drawbacks so people are looking for another way?

Thanks in advance
Fernando
