I have no strong opinion eitehr way, just "source" may have a lot of people belive that is R code -> whatever "scary" name is chosen sounds good to me. I'll have a shot at installing the tangled code later this week (there is a holiday coming up on Thursday). .f ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
