A new version of the 'snow' package for parallel computing in R is available at
http://www.stat.uiowa.edu/~luke/R/cluster/snow_0.3-3.tar.gz This substantially revises the way in which worker processes are started to allow snow to be used on Windows and Mac/Windows/Linux combinations. I have successfully used the SOCK version on a standalone Windows machine and combinations of Windows and Linux; the MPI version also works for me with DeinoMPI and the Rmpi verision for DeinoMPI. I would welcome it if some current snow users could try this verison in their settings to help iron out any major issues I missed before release to CRAN.
