Thanks, John.  The initial reason I was trying to access the manual
was to get at
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-lang.html#Indexing (as
specified on
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1169456/in-r-what-is-the-difference-
between-the-and-notations-for-accessing-the).
Looks like I can still form the right URL using your URL and changing
the last piece to .../R-lang.html#Indexing.

I'm also getting a 404. Tried https just in case.

But

http://cran.utstat.utoronto.ca/manuals.html

works and I can copy the link for R-intro and it works there.

http://cran.utstat.utoronto.ca/doc/manuals/r-release/R-intro.html

Very odd.

Some changes were made in connection with the release in order to have better
automation of things like this (we now centralize information on the versions in
a VERSION-INFO.dcf).

I expect that something went wrong; maybe one of the periodic CRAN housekeeping
scripts doesn't quite do what it should. Have patience and use the R-patched
versions in the interim...
