I installed the RApril with all the warnings of a pre-beta version, but had it quickly produce some beautiful graphs etc. Then, since I'm interested in regression, I downloaded the S-plus package for Aalen's additive regression model, and I got a fixed version for Windows/R already by the next day, but when I tried library(addreg) I got the error below.

The addreg library can be used, since it contains no C or FORTRAN code. It is necessary to load it using the source() command. The help will not be available, but there is a PostScript manual with the library. If you have the newer version of addreg that supports model formulas then this will not work under Windows, but there are instructions on how to load only the older parts of the library in a README file.

I'm only half-joking there. Of course I realize that some people won't want to install an alternative operating system, because they'll never figure out how to use it. Or think that they won't. Unix is too complicated, etc. On the other hand, Unix is the main development platform for R, and Linux (or FreeBSD for that matter) provides what is to all intents and purposes a Unix for the PC. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
