The SASXML package (version 0.2-0)
This is a package that allows R to read XML files in the Open
Information Model format that is used by SAS (8.2) and Microsoft's
MSSQL database server. This parser processes them to create
datasets. It is a very early version of the package that aims to
provide an example and a motivation for exploring XML further in
relation to SAS.
The OIM support was motivated by discussions with Frank Harrell
and Jennifer Shu.
The current version is available as a GNU-zipped tar file SASXML_0.2-0.tar.gz
You will need to have the XML package installed.
This installs as a regular R package and shoould also work with S-Plus
as it uses no C code, closures, etc.
