Are you sure about that? I can't find old contributed packages, but it wouldn't be the first time I've missed something obvious. (src/contrib/Old is hardly a complete archive.)
Not sure about source versions. Windows binaries are available from 1.6 on, in <http://www.cran.mirrors.pair.com/bin/windows/contrib>. We have talked about when to drop 1.6; I'd like to keep it online for a year after the next version comes out (which would mean 1.6 goes away this spring, 1.7 in the fall, etc.). This means that someone has at least a year to upgrade their R installation. Duncan Murdoch
