Dear all,
I run a IBM PC compatible with a Pentium IV with 2,4 MHz and 512 Mb RAM and a 80
Gb fast disk und Windows XP home edition.
I downloaded rw1071.exe from cran.at and cran twice.
When I tried to open rw1071.exe I choose the option to install all R reference
materials as well and then after some 10 seconds I get an error message
refman.pdf file is corrupted (I tried several times to re-open without any
success)
Rhelp.zip as above
hvo___.afm as above
Do you have any idea what I did presumably wrong?
Is there any help - suggestions what I should try next available from R-support?
Many thanks in advance

Dear Kurt, I'd wait a day or so and try again. Lots of users have downloaded R from these sites, so there was probably just some glitch somewhere that affected you. Regards, Andrew C.
