OK, this (1-6) is all described in the R Administration and Installation manual, hence I do not see why we have to repeat it here. > 7. I use the package.skeleton() function to make a draft package.

And you can read the part of 'Creating R Packages' in 'Writing R > Extension'. It introduces some useful things for your reference.

In the DOS environment. Into the "D:\>" Type the following code: There is no DOS environment in Windows NT based operating systems. > cd \Program Files\R\rw2010 > bin\R CMD INSTALL "/Program Files/R/rw2011/example" I do not see why anybody would like to contaminate the binary installation of R with some development source packages. I'd rather use a separate directory. I think reading the two mentioned manuals shoul be sufficient. You have not added relevant information. By adding irrelevant information and omitting some relevant information, I guess we got something that is misleading if the reader does NOT read the manuals as well.
