R help - Mar 2002 - pmvnorm?

Dear all,

The MASS library provides a mvrnorm function to generate random numbers 
from a multivariate normal distribution, similar to S-Plus's rmvnorm, but 
is there an R-equivalent to pmvnorm, which generates probabilities from a 
multivariate normal?

With thanks,
John Field

package mvtnorm.

It does actually cover the multivariate normal: S-PLUS's is bivariate
(or independent) only.
