XML Packge for Windows XP and R 2.12.

Hello,

I am looking for the XML Package for Windows or any package, which would
enable me to use the function "xmlTreeParse". In a thread dating from
2001, the same question is raised:
Wow, a deacde ago!

Why don't you simply use your menus to install the binary version: 
that will work (but note that the posting guide asked you to update 
your R *before* posting).

Has anyone gotten the XML package (R News 1-1:24) with R running on
Windows
(95 or 98 or 2000)? I've looked at the omegahat, expat and libxml web
pages, looks like compiling from source (of which I have little
experience)
will be necessary. I'm wondering how difficult it might prove to be. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.

A windows binary version is available at
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib

As for Feeney compiling from source is not a preferable option for me, as
I have no experience on that. In the link provided by Uwe Ligges, I could
not locate the file I am looking for (xml.** zip).

Thanks a lot for your help,
Katrin Schaber
