Hi, I'm having trouble installing and using the 'foreign' package in R on a

sessionInfo()

    locale:
    [1] C

    attached base packages:

Is there a way to find and install an old 'foreign' package that works with
my machine?

Does such a method generalize to finding other out-of-date packages for my
machine?

Yes, there is a general method. Install from archived package as source.
