However, using data() for system data is not a good idea and for R 2.0.0 you can use the new sysdata.rda facility (documented in R-exts for that version-to-be). The issue is that the code in install.R is run *before* the saved image in the package is loaded (even though it is run after the package itself is sourced), so you needed data(Wcrit01, package="concord"). When you put these in a .First.lib you should still specify the package for safety.
