mmatrix-class

S4 class for manipulating memory-mapped files as matrices

Manipulate data through memory-mapped files, as vectors, matrices or arrays.
Basic arithmetic functions are implemented, but currently no matrix arithmetic.
Can write and read descriptor files for compatibility with the 'bigmemory' package.
