As the subject says, the first alpha release of R 1.9.0 is now available from http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base/R-1.9.0alpha_2004-03-07.tar.gz Subsequent alpha and beta releases will be made daily at 5 am local Wisconsin time (==11 am UTC). Notice that although these releases are mirrored to the rest of CRAN, mirrors may have the preceding version due to propagation delay, so do check against the US site before downloading from a mirror. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
