R help - May 2008 - rmeta package: metaplot or forestplot of meta-analysis under DSL (ramdon) model

Dear all,
 
I could not draw a forest plot for meta-analysis under ramdon models using the
rmeta package.  The rmeta has a default function for MH (fixed-effect) model.
Has the rmeta package been updated for such a function?  Or someone revised it
and kept a private code?
 
I would appreciate it if you could provide some information on this question.
 
Thanks,
 
Andrew

I don't know if this helps, but recently I tried to use rmeta to make
a forest plot and gave up because the data I had were not in the right
format, so I simulated a forest plot using gplots.  I did it all
sideways and then rotated the PostScript.  See 

http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~baron/journal/jdm71128.pdf
Figure 4 on p. 300 for the result, and 
http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~baron/journal/71128/figs.R
for the code (Figure 4).  The last line in the comment shows how to
rotate the PostScript.

The package has a plot() method for random-effects meta-analyses as well, 
either those produced by meta.DSL or meta.summaries.

There are examples on the help page for meta.DSL.
