Just to be provocative, it would be best to state the ultimate goals, then
R users could be of more help.  We have submitted and published articles
using R and are using R in production work on contracts from
pharmaceutical companies.  It's difficult to know from the original note
why we should spend time compiling such data.  Is anyone finding that R
has some deficiencies with respect to their own work?
