R help - Oct 2008 - stablefit can fit the parameters of a truncated normal distribution?

I'm using stableFit from the package fBasics to estimate the parameters of a
truncated normal distribution (I'm interested in the parameters of the
underlying normal distribution). It is correct to generalize this truncated
normal distribution as a stable distribution ?

Thanks

David

This idea is very wrong,  Have a look at the function cnormal1 in the
VGAM package
