Dear S_PLUS users,
let me ask you the following question:
given two square matrices A and B ( whose dimension could differ from each 
other ), is it possible to create automatically a matrix, let us call it C ( 
of dimension  dimension(A) + dimension(B) ), of the form:

A 0
0 B

i.e. where A and B are the diagonal blocks of C  and 0 elsewhere else ?

grateful for the eventual help
Stefano
