That resource is ~9 years old. There are more modern treatments
available. You can read mine at http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz.

Thanks both.  I'm reading through your new book now Hadley... thanks for 
that.  I'll probably take a shot at building a class to hold one tree 
per object, and search for objects of a class (per 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5158830/identify-all-objects-of-given-clas-for-further-processing)
to implement collections when necessary...

It does seem like there might be niche out there for a resource for 
folks deciding how to structure their package given what they're trying 
to provide; i.e. should they construct a collection of functions, or 
class defs, or...  Could well exist already, and I may just have missed 
it...

Thanks,
Allie
