R help - Jun 2001 - RArcInfo 0.1 (Please rebuild binaries at CRAN for LINUX/WIN)

Hello:

 There is a new release (0.1) of the package RArcInfo at CRAN. I have made
many changes to the source code and the functions now returns data frames
(when possible) instead of lists, that are easier to edit and modify (in
my opinion).

 Besides, the package works under Windows too.

 I would like to ask to the developers who maintain the binaries (for
WINDOWS and LINUX) to recompile this package and upload it to CRAN. Can
anyone test the packege under Mac? Thanks.

 Feedback from the users are always welcome.

 Regards,

  Virgilio G?mez Rubio

We don''t provide Windows binaries for all packages.  If you want to
contribute one, the instructions are on CRAN, in bin/windows/ReadMe.

(This is a general point for all package contributors.  CRAN and R does
not have paid labour to provide ports to other platforms, and with well
over 100 packages, the volunteer or two are very thinly stretched.)
