How to bootstrap Kaplan-Miere estimator with 95% envelope

Hi all,

Given a typical right-censoring data which contains a time variable and a 
censoring indicator. How do we bootstrap samples to obtain a 95% envelope 
for the estimated cumulative hazard function?

Thanks in advance.

bootkm in the Hmisc package does not compute confidence intervals for 
the whole curve, only for one time point or one quantile of survival 
time, but it shows how to bootstrap K-M quickly using survfit.km in the 
survival package.
