R help - May 2003 - Question on ldBands function in Hmisc package by Harrell

Has anyone tried to download Hmisc and used ldBands function for calculating
Lan-Demets group sequential boundaries?  The write-up in F.Harrell's website
indicates that, besides downloading the package Hmisc, one needs to copy the
progra ld98 from the University of Wisconsin website.  As suggested, I did
this but received another error message regarding the search path.  I think
I have fixed this problem.  But, when I tried to run the program, it still
opened up the MS-DOS Window and gave me another error message.

If you have tried this, please let me know how you did it.  Thanks in
advance for your help.

I have debugged ldBands only on Linux.  If a Windows user will debug it I'll
make any needed changes for Windows.  -Frank
