Dear R-Help: As you can see, Prof. Friendly refers me to your site for an executable version of vcd. I don't mean to be obtuse, but 15 minutes spent exploring your site failed to locate a downloadable version of the vcd package to which he referred.
I know plainly what this application can do. What I need to know is how to obtain the application itself. My thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
