We are pleased to advise our friends on S-news and R-help that a second V&R book, `S Programming' was published by Springer recently and is (we believe) now available. Our sincere thanks to all of you who, directly or indirectly, have helped us in this second project. (Some of you may even recognise answers to your questions.) We hope all of you who use it will find it clear and informative. Further details are available at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/MASS3/Sprog/ and at the mirror sites for our software.
