At http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/R/win32/ I have made available ports to Guido Masarotto's rw0630 version of a large number of packages, basically all those on CRAN except purely data collections. Please read the instructions in the README file. Also there is a set of dlls in new/iodlls.zip that enable most (but not yet all) of these to work with the rw63-io version, and new/bdr0631.zip, a

I have in my inbox a note saying books are expected in early August. However, for R users there is relatively little advantage in the third edition, except that almost everything works unchanged. The real advantages of the third edition are for users of S-PLUS 5.x and 4.5/2000. > From: Marc R. Feldesman > To: guido at hal.stat.unipd.it; 'Guido Masarotto '; 'Maria Wolters '

I now have versions of code that is destined (I believe) for 0.63 which is in a suitable state for comment. The files are at ftp://ftp.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/R (Our www server is being moved, so may be intermittently down, but this ftp server should be stable.) All are R packages, for the moment for personal use only (no re-distribution). Use with 0.62.3 or 0.63 (although I am aware of some
