The Origins of R AND CALCULUS
If you have bug reports for a contributed package please take them up with
the maintainer,
not the list.
Of course, Wacek is right. His observations being made with a customary needle-like precision. It's that old conundrum about how to have your cake and still eat it. Regards to all, Mark.

Does any student, or teacher for that matter care whether Newton or Leibntiz invented calculas.
supposed to be funny? type citation() in r, you'll read:
"We have invested a lot of time and effort in creating R, please cite it
when using it for data analysis. See also ?citation("pkgname")? for
citing R packages."
why care whether newton or leibnitz invented calculus? why care who has
invested a lot of time and effort in this or that?
