[R] matlab to R / 2

[S.McClatchie]

Colleagues,

Thanks for the suggestions concerning reading matlab files into R

1. Regarding documentation for the format of matlab files, please see two
manuals that I picked up from the matlab websites. 

The name of the files are:
api_guide.pdf
api_ref.pdf

Use your web browser to access these files in my FTP directory
 <ftp://ftp.niwa.cri.nz/incoming/mcclatchie> under the appropriate 
subdirectory (\DDE). (You should be able to just point and click (if not,
copy the URL into the browser URL field). If the file you want won't load
straight into the application program (due to log filename for example),
save the file to disk first. 

This documentation should give sufficient information for developing
routines for dynamic data exchange in an application program interface (I
hope).

2. Regarding using netCDF as an intermediate format between matlab 
and R, I investigated  the URL that Brian Ripley found and followed 
download instructions for the NetCDF Toolbox for Matlab 
<http://crusty.er.usgs.gov/~cdenham/MexCDF/nc4ml5.html#STEPS>.

However in searching CRAN Package sources as well as StatLib, I did 
not see any routines for creating netCDF from R. At the risk of looking
silly, have I missed them?
