Hi, I am trying to install a package called "biology" in R version 3.0.2 on my Macbook Pro. I get a warning message that says "package 'biology' is not available (for R version 3.0.2)" Upon some research it seems the package was put together by Logan Murray who authored an R help book, in which he notes on his site ( http://users.monash.edu.au/~murray/BDAR/#Resources) the package is not available on the CRAN. He gives a list of downloads, which I get an error message from or I am not downloading properly. Has anyone used the package and successfully installed in newer versions of R? Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Allison I had a quick look at the site and it appears that the compiled versions and they are for operating systems with R installed to ver 2.15 However there is a zip file for all or individual R snippets etc. If you want to download them and unzip the individual/all chapters and work from them on your current machine.
