how to update installed packages to a new version of R?
Dear Roger and Mike, I used to do it this way, but it helps to keep the base and recommended packages, which are part of the R distribution, separate from the "contributed" packages. John

How about just copying the library directory from your 1.5.1 directory to your 1.6.1 directory? Then run update.packages() from R. -roger

It's not too hard to do this manually from Rgui, but I wondered if there is an easier way, something like writing the results of installed.packages() from 1.5.1 to a file and using that with install.packages() in 1.6.1, or just having 1.6.1 read what's in rw151/library. -- Michael Friendly Email: friendly at yorku.ca Professor, Psychology Dept.
