R help - Jul 2006 - survfit, unused argument(s) (error ...)

Hi 

It seems that survfit() doesn't accept the argumnet 'error' as below
>survfit(fit, error='greenwood')
Error in survfit.coxph(fit, error = "greenwood") : 
        unused argument(s) (error ...)

Isn't is allowed to do that for a coxph object?

Looking at the code it seems that you need vartype="greenwood", so the
documentation is wrong.
