Automatic table making using R

R provides several facilities to automate the table making process. The XTABLE package can produce summary tables and tables for single model results. HMISC and DESIGN have some facilities to get the results into LaTeX (I have not tried them); MEMISC can produce multiple model result table; and this tiny package, APSRTABLE, seems to provide quavalent functionality and more flexible.

Netbeans and gfortran

I know that Eclipse has a good FORTRAN ide called Photran. I also know that Sun has a compote FORTRAN development tool chains called Sun Studio. What I did not know is that Netbeans itself is a good IDE for gfortran, the default FORTRAN compiler for most Linux distros today.

Here is a really simple debugging session.
