Nick Efthymiou has created two R packages out of some of the functions from S Poetry. He obviously realized that I'm too much of a slouch to do it myself. They are Nick's packages, but they are available through the S Poetry page on http://www.burns-stat.com The packages are: mathgraph The functions that implement an S3 class for mathematical graphs plus a few miscellaneous functions. verify A family of functions for test suites of functions.
