[R] Difference between Lloyd and Forgy algorithms used in R built-in kmeans clustering function

Hi,

Does anybody know the difference between the Lloyd and Forgy algorithms
specified for R's kmeans clustering options? I know how Lloyd works, but I
cannot access Forgy's paper and could not find any specific information on
the web about how it really differs from Lloyd's method.

I appreciate your help. Thanks!
