Of course, to export or not to export is the choice of the package author. It is also sensible to try to protect users from shooting themselves in the foot. However if they really want to shoot themselves in the foot, that's their call. Anyway, users can always get at non-exported functions using ":::". cheers, Rolf Turner -- Honorary Research Fellow Department of Statistics University of Auckland Phone: +64-9-373-7599 ext. 88276 ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
