Peter, That's fine. I'm still not doing well on the computer front; 3 down/ 1 up; but things are supposed to change..... On Doug Bates comments about files with .data extensions; if these things are going to work under 3.1 I think we need to limit ourselves to 3 digit extensions. While I'm sure .dat is already taken I think it will be easier to work around that. Yes I could write perl scripts to do all the transforming but it's a bit of a pain (especially since I can't even keep up with the other developments). robert =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
