Hi there! Is ROracle available for Windows, please? I found a download site, but it's really for UNIX/Linux. Here is a "thought question", please: Why do the vector elements start at location 1 rather than zero, as C does? Thanks in advance! R Version 1.9.1 Windows Sincerely, Laura Holt mailto: lauraholt_983 at hotmail.com

The people who build binary packages do not have Oracle...> Here is a "thought question", please: Why do the vector elements > start at location 1 rather than zero, as C does?Negative indexing is a fairly good argument. C doesn't have that. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

Hi Laura, Sorry for the delay, but I was away and I'm finally catching up... I do have a windows binary at http://stat.bell-labs.com/RS-DBI/download/ but note that you need to have the Oracle's client software.
