     NetWorkSpaces makes it easy to create and experiment with parallel
     programs without requiring specialized tools or hardware. You must
     install both the NetWorkSpaces server (on one machine) and the R
     NetWorkSpaces package (on all machines involved in the
     computation). The server is implemented using Python and Twisted
     (a Python package), which are required.  To download and install
     the server, go to the R NetWorkSpaces project on Source Forge at
     <URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nws-r>.

     NetWorkSpaces Pro (nwsPro) is the commercial version of
     NetWorkSpaces which has additional fault tolerance features.  More
     information is available at <URL:
