Hi bachmeier.

Hope you're well.

What's the current status of calling R from D and D from R?  A 
friend who is global head of derivatives research in London for a 
bank was asking me as he is receptive to exploring alternatives.  
It's for research not production so rough around the edges is 
acceptable - provided one knows what one is dealing with 
beforehand.


Thanks.
