Could you get the admins to update, please?  Maybe by helping them by letting
us know what errors they are getting?

I'd start with the corresponding examples/ directory from the version you are
using.  Those examples work with the version they ship with.

Are you sure?  I thought the very very first assign() functiones used SEXPs....

The as<>() and wrap() functions are meant for the casting, but then again,
the most feature complete variant with be 0.9.5.

Glad to hear that.  Hope this helps,  Dirk
