Software

I have contributed to the development of dplR, a tree-ring analysis package for R.

I wrote a bug fix / enhancement addressing problems or missing features in parts of the I/O subsystem of R. The patch was not included in the R distribution, but anyone interested in using seek() with a non-default encoding may want to take a look at my proposed solution. Before including my code in your self-compiled R, be sure to examine its compatibility with the version of R you are using and make any necessary adjustments.
