Hi:
I like use R for data mining, organization, manipulation and mapping of SSURO data of USA. I have already done first two; I need help for mapping these data.in R It will be appreciated if someone helps me to solve following three issues:

*1.       How do I merge several  shape files?*
I like to merge several shape files to create a single shape file. All files are same structure but different names and in different folders. Below I mentioned how all shape files are organized in different folder. I want to write a function that I can use to merge the shape files.

*File organization:*
.../State_name/soil_ia001/spatial/file_name01.shp
.../State_name/soil_ia003/spatial/file_name03.shp
.../State_name/soil_ia005/spatial/file_name05.shp
.
. .../State_name/soil_ia21/spatial/file_name21.shp

*DBF file associated   all shape files look like below: *

ID            AREASYMBOL    SPATIALVER       MUSYM               MUKEY
1 IA001 2 822D2 402210 2 IA001 2 24C2 402161 3 IA001 2 93D2 402217 4 IA001 2 W 1857266 5 IA001 2 W 1857266 6 IA001 2 370C 402177 7 IA001 2 570B 402190
               -------
*
2. My second question is: I like to join a table with this above mentioned shape using a conmen ID like MUKEY. How do I do this?* *3. My third question is: how do I convert this shape file to a grid (as a TIFF format or others? ) that I open some other software?*

Thanks
Zia
