I've just upgraded to 1.3.1. The new installer SetupR.exe is wonderful! Thanks, Brian! Also install.packages() works well. A few questions, though. 1. There seems to be no help on tseries. 2. The old packages from my earlier installation of R appear along with the new packages in the html packages help file. I find that I can load these packages still, with a lot of searching noise coming from the disk drive. Now this may be an advantage, but I will surely want to junk some of these old packages soon. I wonder if things will get messy at this point? 3. Some familiar old packages are gone. I wonder where their functionality is now? I'm thinking of (for me) ctest, eda, lqs, modreg, mva, splines, stepfun, tcltk. (I won't ask this about ts - maybe I can use ts help for tseries functions?)
Um, that's not supposed to happen... you're supposed to end up with a ....\rw1031\library directory with all of those inside of it. Would you happen to have an old setting for your R library confusing things??? tseries is not among the "recommended" packages that you get by default, so you would normally get that from CRAN and that should put the help files in place too.
