[R] importing .bil files

[Sebastian Leuzinger]

Dear list

Has anyone got a recipie at hand to import .bil files into R? From  
what I understand the .bil files I got contain layered matricies which  
I would lke to make available in R as an array or list.

GIS people seem to be familiar with the .bil format but I am not using  
any GIS software and would prefer to deal with the data in R.

I use the latest version of R on Mac OSX  10.5.8.

Thanks, Sebastian
