The RinS package

The RinS package provides an interface between R and S-Plus. This allows

easy exchange and sharing of objects between the two systems, both
- dynamically in memory, and
- statically via files & serialized objects, and
calling of R functions from S-Plus and vice-versa, and evaluating R expressions from within S-Plus.

The interface consists of two packages:

RinS: which provides access to R's serialization and functionality from within S-Plus, and
SpinR: which provides functionality for managing R references exported to S-Plus, and the ability to invoke S-Plus functions from R.
