Robust location and scatter

one year before I installed the add-on package lqs to perform robust estimation of multivariate location and scatter (cov.mve, cov.mcd, cov.rob). I had the feeling that there was something wrong with the results (perhaps I can reproduce it if necessary). Now I looked in the CRAN-archive to see if there is a new version of lqs or if cov.rob had been included in the base package in the meantime. I browsed through the recent help.start()-manual and found the help pages for the robust cov-functions, but it is indicated that they still belong to the package lqs. But a package lqs is no longer offered. Is the package discarded (perhaps because of errors), or am I simply too confused to search at the right place?
lqs is a package in the standard library in recent versions of R. Use library(lqs) to access it. If there are bugs in it, we'd appreciate a report with a demonstration....
