Abstract
The objectives of this chapter are to quickly cover how to use R to interface with analytical software that is written in other programming languages. The chapter will focus primarily on integrating R commands with the software Phylocom written in C [14]. I have chosen to focus on this program because it carries out many of the types of analyses covered in this book. Although I have focused on this particular program, the general principles of how to call other programs from R and integrate them into your R-based analyses remain the same.
