I can try with my older version of R, but failure (or even success) with versions OSX-10.2/R-2.0 is not likely to be very informative. If you will post an example of the input that is resulting in the error, I can try it on my WinXP machine. If we cannot reproduce it there, then it may be more appropriate to take further questions to the Mac-R mailing list. The error message suggests to me that the fault lies in the connection phase of the task. -- David Winsemius ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
