The Hmisc and Design libraries have had major improvements. New versions for
Linux/Unix/Windows may be obtained from

Thanks to Xiao Gang Fan for porting the libraries to Windows once again.
Change logs may be obtained from
http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/library/common
Several bugs have been fixed in Design, and many bugs have been fixed in Hmisc
and new features and functions have been added. Advanced table making functions
related to summary.formula have been enhanced to automatically add results of
statistical tests comparing columns in tables. Some new latex options have been
added. The contents function has been enhanced and an html method written for
it. For example, html(contents(mydataframe)) will produce an html document
whose initial part is a table containing variable names, labels, units, storage
mode, number of levels, and number of NAs. The number of levels is hyperlinked
to a separate table containin the factor levels.
R help files for Hmisc have been significantly improved. But there are many
aspects of Hmisc and Design help files that still do not pass R CMD CHECK, hence
the non-appearance of Hmisc and Design on CRAN. It will take some time to make
all the help files meet CRAN package specifications.
Thanks to those who have reported bugs and fixes.
