Please don't spam multiple lists!
And follow the posting guide: you have not given the reproducible
example asked for, there is no signature block ....
Of course you could waste people's time by submitting a package that
does not past R CMD check, but you are asked to follow a set of checks
in 'Writing R Extensions' and the CRAN workers do not have unlimited
patience ....
