Hang on there - "No other language that I can think of really has an equivalent." - have you heard of CPAN, and CTAN? CRAN was modelled *after* CPAN, which in turn was modelled after CTAN... Either of them is far bigger in size, far older in history, and far more well-established. In fact, I am sorry to say, the search engine of either CPAN or CTAN are better than CRAN's. (this last sentence is subjective, of course). Obviously not a Perl nor TeX user then. (probably not a good idea to express this on r-devel, nevermind) HTL ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
