We get caught occasionally, and we all receive spam; sorry for the last one (on R-help). Of course, there will never be a 100% sure prevention...

Is there a way in R (12.x) to avoid the implicit coercion of factors to integers in the context of subscripts? If this is not possible, is there a way to get at least a warning, if any coercion of this type happens, given that the action of this coercion is almost never what is wanted? Of course, in the rare case that as.integer() is applied explicitly onto a factor, the warning is not needed,

I tried to reproduce a result from a former colleague which he got with S-plus bootstrap method. I don't have S-plus at hand. In R, there are 2 packages related to bootstrap method, bootstrap and boot. The former has a function called 'bootstrap' but this does not seem to conform either to the function used in S-plus nor to that described in MASS, 3d ed., p.144. The latter seems to be
