R help - Mar 2005 - Books on survival analysis and R/S

I will be giving a course in survival analysis using R (of course!) for
people who know nothing about the subject (including R), but know basic
statistics. I'm looking for a suitable course book. Therneau & Grambsch
(2000) is an excellent book, but too much for this course. I need somthing
more elementary. 

I have a vague memory saying that such books exist, but I cannot find any
for the moment. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

G?ran
