Dear listers, I am trying to install RcppBDT_0.2.1 on my Windows machine using the function install.packages("./RcppBDT_0.2.1.tar.gz", repos=NULL, type="source"). Since this package is not like most of other packages in that it requires Rcpp and boost, I have installed Rcpp and boost first, and executed the install.package...

However, I am looking for a bit more flexibility. I would like to be able to obtain dates and EOM dates "n" months prior/forward to the
