Is robust regression available in R.

Hello, the R people.
 
I look for robust regression in R.
 
This method is available in S, its name is rreg.

There's better robust regression in the VR bundle of
packages. 

library(MASS)

I've been using line() in the eda library. Are the MASS functions to be
preferred?

If you float on instinct alone, how can you calculate the buoyancy for
the computed load?

Well, for a start they allow more than one predictor and give standard
errors.

There are also more options for different types of robust regression, both
M-estimators and high-breakdown methods.
