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

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Does such a method generalize to finding other out-of-date packages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. http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive
Right, but then foreign is a recommended package and is shipped with released versions of R, hence should be available already. Best, Uwe Ligges
