R help - Feb 2004 - consensus trees/groups from clustering

Hi,
 I wish to build consensus groups/tree from a set of bootstraps from a
clustering algorithm such as hc or k-means, but can't find an R-function
that does this. Does anyone know of an R procedure/function which allows
one to build such consensus groups/tree .?

 Many thanks,
 Andrew

Andrew,

have a look at 

library(e1071) 
?bclust

which does bagging of kmeans cluster centers followed by hierarchical
cluster analysis.
Smart and fast.

Best regards
