Hi Rob, [BTW, sorry about the crosspost to R-help. Mean't to continue the discussion on R-devel, but miss-typed.] Actually, the original author used the function with 85 arguments in S-Plus. Rather than adding a new wrapper function, I wanted to fix the (in my opinion) artificial limit of 65 parameters and let them keep the same exact source file between R and S-Plus. -Greg > > -- > +----------------------------------------------------------- > ----------------+ > | Robert Gentleman phone : (617) 632-5250 > | > | Associate Professor fax: (617) 632-2444 > | > | Department of Biostatistics office: M1B28 > | Harvard School of Public Health email: > rgentlem@jimmy.dfci.harvard.edu | > +----------------------------------------------------------- > ----------------+ > LEGAL NOTICE Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged.
