Does anyone have an automated way to make Current Index to Statistics inquiries from R, or from the Unix command line? I thought it might be convenient to have something like this for occasions in which I'm in a foreign domain and would like to make inquires on my office machine without firing up a full fledged browser. Lynx is ok for this purpose, but it might be nice to have something more specifically designed for CIS. url: www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger Roger Koenker email rkoenker at uiuc.edu Department of Economics vox: 217-333-4558 University of Illinois fax: 217-244-6678 Champaign, IL 61820
