R help - Sep 2001 - making packages for windows from UNIX

Hello,

I am trying to make a package for windows using my linux installation
of R. I tried to make the package by first using R CMD build (under
linux) to create a tar.gz package. Then I uncompressed and rearchived
as a zip package. After installing this under windows, the data files
work fine, but the R files aren't seen under windows. Is there some
easy way to create a working zip package from the tar.gz package or do
I need to do this from windows?

Thanks,

John

See readme.packages under Windows, or in the sources.

I suspect you did not actually `install' it.
