Dear ElMaestro,

Another great idea. However, PCDCON was designed as a kind of interactive program. Unless we know what choice is for each step from user after dataset is uploaded, shell-execution of the program on local machine seems impossible to implement (your Step 2).

How about this way: Porting PCDCON to R. Since PCDCON has included major FORTRAN subroutines (codes), it seems possible to convert these FORTRAN subroutines into DLL as one of R libraries (packages). Then user can easily call/assess these PCDCON functions from R script. However, I wonder we can do that, unless we can get permission from Dr. Gillespie first. Bad idea, uh? Never mind.
