[R] GUI Input Forms

[Mark Myatt]

For Win32 systems you might like to look at EpiData:

        http://www.epidata.dk

which is freeware but not GPL. A tutorial is available from my website:

        http://www.myatt.demon.co.uk

At present it exports to Excel, dBase, Stata, SPSS, and text files ...
not too difficult to import the text file into R.

I hope that helps,

Mark

DISCLAIMER - I like EpiData and use it for all my data-entry tasks but I
did have a hand in designing the thing so I would.
