Hi, I just downloaded R for windows and subscribed to this list. I would like to know if it is possible to install an add-on package (e.g. spatial) in the Win95 version (0.61.1).

The procedure is sort of explained in the source for the new windows version. The package needs to be compiled as a DLL and linked with the R executable if it uses any R functions like S_alloc. There's a MakePkg script in the src/gnuwin32 directory, but it requires the mingw32 compiler and quite a lot of GNU tools for NT/Win95.
