I'm having trouble un 'tar'ing the file ctest_0_9-3_tar.tar. When using the command "tar -xv" on a UNIX machine I get the "checksum error" message. When trying to use WinZip on a Win95 machine it gives an error reading the header. I'm downloading from the CRAN site at Carnegie Mellon. Could the file there be corrupted? Thanks for any help, and sorry if this is the wrong place to present this problem.

Then look at the size (should be 10424 bytes). Then do 'tar xvpfz ctest_0.9-3.tar.gz'. Playing myself with R is there an anonymous CVS account for update available? -Egon -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
