Changelog Since 0.5.5
====================
- Added barplot2():  
    barplot2 is an enhanced version of barplot that can add confidence
    intervals for each bar, color plot region separately from the 
    background area, draw "height" axis grid lines *behind* the bars,
    and log-scale the data axis.  Contributed by Mark Schwartz
- Added CrossTable(): 
	CrossTable is an implementation of a cross-tabulation function
 	with output similar to S-Plus crosstabs() and SAS Proc Freq with
	Chi-square and Fisher tests of the independence of table factors
- Permit combinations() to be used when r>n provided   
  repeat.allowed=TRUE
- Renamed 'concat' function to 'combine' to avoid name conflict
with
  an existing S-Plus function.
- Misc fixes to files for compatibility with R 1.6.0
- Correction of some documentation typos

Shortly after the release of version 0.6.0 of the gregmisc package, several bugs were located by users. A new release, 0.7.0, is now available on CRAN. This version corrects these bugs, and adds regression test code. This regression test code should to help to prevent introduction of bugs of this sort in the future Thanks to Matthew McDonald and Sven Garbade for the bug reports prompted this re-release. -Greg LEGAL NOTICE Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged.

To all, If I may just also add a personal and in this forum, a public note of thanks to Greg for his assistance over the past few days in offering to make available two functions (CrossTable and barplot2), that I posted over the recent past to r-devel, in the gregmisc package. I hope that these will be of value to the community and provide a level of "payback" for the tremendous value and assistance that I have found here over the past year of using R.
