[R-sig-Geo] Smallest distance from one point feature to a point layer

[Gustaf Rydevik]

Hi All,

I have two shapefiles with point features, A and B. I've managed to
import them into R with maptools and spatstat.
Now I would like to calculate, for each point in A, the closest
distance to any point in B.
What is the best way to do this?

Many thanks in advance,

Gustaf
