We have just published the 2002/2 issue of R News on http://cran.R-project.org/doc/Rnews where you can download the newsletter as PDF or Postscript file. It will propagate to the CRAN mirrors within a day or two. This issue focuses on the R 1.5.0 release, with key innovations in the standard add-on package 'ts' and the two new recommended packages 'grid' and 'lattice'. There is much more exciting information, including news on R and spatial statistics, distributed computing, and bioinformatics. Contents: Time Series in R 1.5.0 Naive Time Series Forecasting Methods Rmpi: Parallel Statistical Computing in R The grid Graphics Package Lattice Programmer's Niche geoRglm: A Package for Generalised Linear Spatial Models Querying PubMed evd: Extreme Value Distributions ipred: Improved Predictors Changes in R Changes on CRAN Upcoming Events which makes a total of 44 pages.

Hi all, The file is NOT a gz file, but plain .ps. So, to read it, rename it by deleting the tail ".gz". (Perhaps my download mechanism fabricated the extra ".gz"?)

(Perhaps my download mechanism fabricated the > extra ".gz"?)Rather, your download mechanism un-gzipped it for you: Netscape and others often do unless you explicitly save the link contents. The actual file is auk% file Rnews_2002-2.ps.gz Rnews_2002-2.ps.gz: gzip compressed data - deflate method , original file name (after ftp-ing which is safe in this regard). This is so commonplace I am surprised you have not met it before.> Good luck.I think good understanding should be more productive.> --christian > > At 17:19 21.06.2002 +0200, you wrote: > > > >We have just published the 2002/2 issue of R News on > > > > http://cran.R-project.org/doc/Rnews > > > >where you can download the newsletter as PDF or Postscript file.
