Bivariate Ripley K function

Hello,
I have used the univariate Ripley K function in R, but does anyone know if 
there is a bivariate function built in? I have two species that I am dealing 
with.
Also, how might I add error bars into the graphs (univariate and/or 
bivariate)?

Thank you,

I believe the `splancs' package from CRAN has a bivariate K function.  
For error bars you'll probably have to use Monte Carlo methods.  
`splancs' has some tools for that.

See also 'spatstat' for Kmulti and Kcross.

  Since R doesn't have a univariate K-function in the base or 
recommended packages I'm wondering which package the original poster got 
univariate K-function from. I suspect their friendly sysop installed 
splancs or spatstat.
