Hello R users, Thank you very much to those who responded so quickly and helpfully to my question about update.packages() and Windows 2000. I am grateful to Thomas Lumley, Jason Turner, Prof Brian D Ripley, Uwe Ligges and Andy Liaw (at least). The solution was simply to use internet2.dll rather than internet.dll. I'm sorry I didn't spot this in the documentation. Thank you again. As already stated (by me and by others) this feature is very useful and the contributors deserve much congratulations. Regards, Andrew C.
