R help - Jul 2003 - aregImpute: warning message re: acepack and mace

hi,

i'm trying to learn how to use aregImpute by doing the examples provided
with
the package, and after installing Hmisc.1.6-1.zip (for Windows),
and running the very first example on R 1.7.1, i get an error message warning 
me about "mace" (see below) and acepack.  

i found the acepack package, but its filename ends in tar.gz
and i'm finding it difficult to open (because its designed for Unix, i
guess).
is there an acepack.zip file?  is there any way that i can play
with aregImpute on my Windows system?

thank you for your help,

No, because those are the sources for all platforms.

You didn't look in the right place: it's described in rw-FAQ.  (Hint: it
can all be done from the menus.  Hint2: Hmisc should be installed in the 
same way.)

Hmisc_2.0-0 is current.

use e.g. update.packages() to update to the recent version.

So also update those packages. If they are not already installed, use 
install.packages() to install them.

The binary packages for R-1.7.x can be found at 
CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/1.7 , if you tend to install manually.
