R help - Feb 2004 - MiceR

Hi,

has anyone got some advise about loading MiceR, an R version of MICEv1.0 
from Multiple Imputation Online <http://www.multiple-imputation.com/>. 
When I try to load it in R(ver. 1.8.1) I get the following message;

<<QUOTE>>
Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection
In addition: Warning message:
cannot open file `miceR/DESCRIPTION'
<<END QUOTE>>

I note from the web page that MiceR is described as a package for Unix 
and I am running R on Windows XP. Does it make a difference to the package?

Thanks for any advice.

Rather a lot.  You can

 1) compile it yourself and build a binary for windows
 2) ask the MiceR maintainers to do it for you
 3) do the analyses under Unix or a Unix-like system

Since I know nothing about MiceR, I've no idea if this is easy or
impossible.  What you've got now Just Won't Work (tm).

Cheers
