R-beta: Re: your mail

Hi,

I just downloaded R for windows and subscribed to this list.  I would like to 
know if it is possible to install an add-on package (e.g. spatial) in the Win95 
version (0.61.1).

It's possible in theory. The procedure is sort of explained in the source
for the new windows version.  The package needs to be compiled as a DLL
and linked with the R executable if it uses any R functions like S_alloc.

There's a MakePkg script in the src/gnuwin32 directory, but it requires
the mingw32 compiler and quite a lot of GNU tools for NT/Win95.
