>
> Why ?
> =====
>
>  GNU R, a language and environment for statistical computing and
>  graphics, provides a wonderful system for 'programming with data'
>  as well as interactive exploratory analysis, often involving graphs.
>
>  Sometimes, however, simple scripts are desired. While GNU R can
>  be used in batch mode, and while so-called 'here' documents can be
>  crafted, a long-standing need for a scripting front-end has often
>  been expressed by the R Community.
>
>  littler (pronounced 'little R' and written 'r') aims to fill
>  this need.
>
>  It can be used directly on the command-line just like, say, bc(1):
>
>
>      $ echo 'cat(pi^2,"\n")' | r
>      9.869604
>
>  Equivalently, commands that are to be evaluated can be given on
>  the command-line
>
>      $ r -e 'cat(pi^2, "\n")'
>      9.869604
>
>  But unlike bc(1), GNU R has a vast number of statistical
>  functions. For example, we can quickly compute a summary() and show
>  a stem-and-leaf plot for file sizes in a given directory via
>
>      $ ls -l /boot | awk '!/^total/ {print $5}' | \
>         r -e 'fsizes <- as.integer(readLines());
>           print(summary(fsizes)); stem(fsizes)'
>        Min. 1st Qu. Median   Mean 3rd Qu.   Max.

>  And, last but not least, this (somewhat unwieldy) expression can
>  be stored in a helper script:
>
>      $ cat examples/fsizes.r
>      #!/usr/bin/env r
>
>      fsizes <- as.integer(readLines())
>      print(summary(fsizes))
>      stem(fsizes)
>
>  (where calling /usr/bin/env is a trick from Python which allows one
>  to forget whether r is installed in /usr/bin/r, /usr/local/bin/r,
>  ~/bin/r, ...)
>
>  A few examples are provided in the source directories examples/
>  and tests/.

> Where ?
> =======
>
>  littler can either be downloaded from
>
>     http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/LittleR
>
>  accessed by anonymous SVN:
>
>     $ svn co http://littler.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ littler
>
>  or (soon !) be gotten from Debian mirrors via
>
>     $ agt-get install littler
>
>  littler is known to build and run on Linux and OS X.
