hello. This is my first post here. 

I am trying to find an splus library for WINDOWS for the nls2 function. Does 
one exist? 

Library's for NLS2 for S-plus on unix/linux exist but I don't know how to 
modify all the installation/program files to run on windows. 

Any suggestions would help. 

My goal is to use a system of differential equations to define my model and use 
nls2 to do parameter estimation. What the nls2 library includes are some 
functions that can take a symbolic representation of the system of differential 
equations and converts/complies it somehow so that nls2 can use it. Then it 
also has a function that lets me load the complied model file. 

Alternatively, does anyone know how to define a model using differential 
equations then using nls for parameter estimation? There is a package named 
DeSolve that has diff eq solvers and examples of diff eqs,  can I define my 
system in a similar way as those functions in the deSolve package would and 
then pass it to nls or nls2? I know I would need an objective function so that 
would be the sum of squares of the residuals....

 thanks
Z
