R help - Aug 2007 - problems installing updated version of vars package

All,

I was looking onlin and noticed that the vars package (by Bernhard Pfaff)
was recently updated (update date listed Aug 6, 2007) The updated packages
has some features that I would find very useful. I have used the update
packages function and vars was one of the packages identified as needing an
update. I was able to updated and it appeared to work, however when  I load
the package it does not seem to be the most recent version? Has anyone else
had similar problems? Or does anyone have any suggestions?

System Info:

R 2.4.1
Windows XP
install mirror: USA 3 (UCLA I think)

thanks,

Spencer

You need to update your R (as the posting guide asked you to before 
posting) or install the package from sources.

The binary builds are not updated for obsolete versions of R: the builds 
for 2.4.x stopped on 28 June.
