To Narendra; I get the idea that this line of inquiry is designed to obfuscate R code and derivative works, which in turn I see as an effort to defeat the open source nature of the R movement. It at least violates the spirit of the various licenses under which R and the CRAN packaging policies are distributed. I'm suggesting that those people who support an open source basis of R not continue to use Rhelp as a venue for an effort to undermine the openness of coding supported by R. If Bob disagrees with me, he is at liberty to correspond with you privately. I have no authority to enforce such advice, and anyone is free to opine on the ethics and legality of this proposed effort. -- David. > > > On Fri, Oct 14, 2016 at 9:55 AM, Bob Rudis <b...@rud.is> wrote: >> Ugly idea/option, but you could base64 encode the R script (solely to >> avoid the need to do string quoting) and have that string in the >> source of the R.net code, then pass it in to the eval portion or write >> it out to a temp dir and pass that to the eval portion of the code. >> That way the script is embedded with the DLL and not an extra asset >> that needs to be managed. >> >> On Fri, Oct 14, 2016 at 10:43 AM, Narendra Modi <bjpmodi2...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >>> Thanks Duncan.
