R help - Feb 2004 - knn using custom distance metric

Hi,

There are two packages providing knn classification: class and knnTree.
However, it seems both uses Eucleadian distances only. How can I uses a
custom distance function with either package?

Thanks,

Xiao-Jun

What I have done is made a copy of the R and C functions, renamed them, and
modified the C code to compute the distance desired.  Very easy to do if you
know some C.
