thanks but if you mean this http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Installation I have studied it and I have not seen anything pretaining to using R on the command line to generat INDEX files. nor rdb/rdx files The closest I came was an email to a list in 2006 which discussed the latter https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2006-September/042700.html and this from 2003 pretaining to INDEX files https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2003-October/040862.html So I am still unclear IF one downloads an archived package and UNPACK it; if there are THEN options to pass to R to generate INDEX files and rdb/rdx files. Are there? sincerely luxInteg ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
