[R-sig-Geo] ArcView shape files and GeoBUGS

[Tord Snäll]

Dear all,
I would like to read in ArcView (or ArcGIS) shape files from which I 
will pick information if fitting a geostatistical model using WinBUGS. 
In the GeoBUGS Used Manual it says
"GeoBUGS does not have an option for loading ArcView shape files 
directly. However, Ms Yue Cui at the University of Minnesota has written 
programs in Splus and R for converting shape files into the GeoBUGS 
Splus format so that they can be loaded in GeoBUGS 
(http://www.biostat.umn.edu/~yuecui/). "

Unfortunately this site is unavailable, and the Biostatstics homepage at 
University of Minnesota does not say anything about neither BUGS nor Ms 
Yue Cui.

Does anyone know whether this code has been included in any R library, 
or does anyone know how to get in touch with Ms Yue Cui? I find some old 
questions about this is the archive, but at that time no one seemed to 
know about this.

Thanks,
Tord
