As far as searching, think outside the bun - grep, mdfind.

Much faster development-wise than constantly reinstalling the package. ---------------------------------------------------------- SIGSIG -- signature too long (core dumped) ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
