An R Package only for SAS Users

Dear All,

I am doing some research into creating a R Package for SAS language Users.

The name of the beta package is “ Anne”, but I am open to suggestions for the name please.

The basic idea is to enable SAS language Users (especially Windows SAS language  users) to get a feel to try out the R package without getting overwhelmed with the matrix level powerful capabilities as well as command line interface.

libname(x) <-function(x) setwd(x)
