Dear R users,
Thanks in advance.
I am Deb, Statistician at NSW Department of Commerce, Sydney.
I am using R 2.8.1 on Windows XP.
This has reference to the package “DPpackage”. The binary version is
available on Mac OS, but I am using Windows XP.
May I request you to assist me in the followings:
How can I prepare Windows binary of DPpackage from source?
2. Is there any possibility to have a copy of Windows binary of
DPpackage in the near future in the site http://www.cran.r-project.org/?
Once again, thank you very much for the time you have given.
I am looking forward for your reply.
Regards,
Debabrata Midya (Deb)

The package does not install under Windows: see http://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-release-windows-ix86/DPpackage-00check.html The maisntainer has been informed (probably many times via the automated notification system). With 1700 packages, the volunteers have no time to spend correcting packages for non-responsive maintainers (we do quite a lot for responsive ones). The posting guide suggested you contact him first: did you get a response?

Looks like it no longer maintained? I will send a copy to Alejandro.JaraVallejos at med.kuleuven.be Dieter
