R help - Oct 1999 - dos.time?

Dear R users,

I just noticed that the function "dos.time" is no longer 
included with 
         _         
platform Windows   
arch     x86       
os       Win32     
system   x86, Win32
status   Release   
major    0         
minor    65.1      
year     1999      
month    October   
day      07        
language R  

What if any is the difference between "system.time" and the 
older "dos.time"?

Thanks

ALAN

  I am not sure R has had 'dos.time' in the past.
  Anyway, the third entry of 'system.time(expr)' is equal to
  Splus 'dos.time(expr)', i.e., reports the total (elapsed) time 
  used to evaluate 'expr'.
  Note that the first and second entries (avalaible only under Unix and WinNT
  but not under Win9X) let to a better timing of 'expr', in particular
  the first one which gives the CPU time spent by the R process to evaluate
  'expr'.  

  Hoping this can help,
  guido
