Hi again list.
Thanks for these replies. I guess the issue is one of parsing units
being different from my expectations. I saw a related issue in a
slightly different context a couple of days ago:
R> f1 <- function(a,b)
{a
-b}
R> f2 <- function(a,b)
{a-
b}
...which (rightly) give very different results [the original bug took
me *hours* to find].
cheers
