I just downloaded the NT version of R and cannot
find anything concrete on loading packages.
There is alot on how to do it under Unix.
The windows FAQ briefly mentions it but
does not explain it.
I have donwloaded windows binaries of the package
"clust.zip" and unzipped it into my
c:\rw0632\library
directory... So I have
c:\rw0632\library\cluster
Now what do I do ?
Thanks in Advance
Kim Horn

From the README:
Binaries for many packages are available at CRAN/bin/windows/windows-NT/contrib. These are zip files which should be unpacked in rw0641\library. They are then available for use. You can also use the installer rwinst.exe to selectively unpack the zip files.
I have donwloaded windows binaries of the package
"clust.zip" and unzipped it into my
c:\rw0632\library
directory... So I have
c:\rw0632\library\cluster
So you followed the instructions, which are mentioned briefly because they are brief!
Now what do I do ?
Find your R documentation and read it! Use of libraries is not a Windows-specific issue, and I think you are confusing installing libraries (and that is what is in the FAQs) and loading them.
library(cluster)
will make this available for use. See ?library for more details, or read a good book on S/S-PLUS, as R works in exactly the same way. However, please don't use such an old version of R for Windows: we are on rw0641 now. In particular, the `windows binaries' are mainly for rw0640/1 only: I hope you downloaded from the obselete rw063x section.
