R help - Sep 2006 - References about dot a files

Hello:

I'm trying to find some reading material about .a files.  I'm attempting
to
build a package which accesses many C routines via .Call, and its been
suggested that I need a lib_C_code.a file inside the C directory.   What
does such a file do?  Where can I read somthing about it?

I've tried to search for it, but keywords "R package .a"
doesn't work
because the ".a" is too generic.

Thanks in advance!

Hi All,

I tried RSiteSearch('truncated distribution') , and found a lot of
threads on 'fitting truncated normal distribution'. No doubt they are
all helpful in fitting the distribution based on the data of known original mean
and sd.

But my question is a bit different. What I know is the mean and sd after
truncation. If I assume the distribution is normal, how I am gonna develope the
original distribution using this two parameters? Could anybody give me some
advice? Thanks in advance!

Jen
