I should apologize.  I saw rshape2 and just "glossed" over that and

rshape.

Dan,

   Apparently the 'e' in the subject line fell off. It's 'reshape2'.

So I was using the rshape package rather than rshape2.  I don't know

the

relationship between those two packages and/or how they differ.  I am

sure

that there are others that can help you out here.

   I, too, don't know how the two packages 'reshape, The Orignal' and
'reshape2, Rebooted' differ. The two articles by Hadley that I read
("Statistical Computing and Graphics", 2005, and "Journal of
Statistical
Software", 2007) do not explicitly specify which version of reshape is
addressed.
