Hello

You need adiag(), which
is now part of the magic package:


 > library(magic)
 > adiag(matrix(1:6,2,3),matrix(1:9,3,3))
      [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6]
[1,]    1    3    5    0    0    0
[2,]    2    4    6    0    0    0
[3,]    0    0    0    1    4    7
[4,]    0    0    0    2    5    8
[5,]    0    0    0    3    6    9

the function also has extra functionality over the one Vito
points to in the archives.
