Umm, I don't think posting 1200 lines on nonworking code to r-help is
the right way to go about this, especially since the code is not

didn't understand)

The right way is of course to volunteer as maintainer for an R
package (maybe after finding someone to help you iron out the
wrinkles), contact the authors and the journal to get permission to
publish under the GPL and submit to CRAN.
