I am pleased to announce that new versions of the Hmisc and Design packages, version 2.0-0, are on CRAN. Thanks to Kurt Hornik (whose patience with my help files knows no bounds) and Uwe Ligges and others for making this possible. Thanks also to Xiao Gang Fan who has generously ported Hmisc and Design to Windows multiple times before. Hmisc is available on CRAN for Windows as well as for Unix/Linux/Mac; Design is available for Unix/Linux/Mac now and will soon be available for Windows also when Uwe has time. --- Frank E Harrell Jr Prof. of Biostatistics & Statistics Div. of Biostatistics & Epidem.
