Thanks Uwe for you reply. However you used 'should' which brings some confusion
to me! Did you mean that, **it is never possible** to modify those message
given I only have windows binary?
Actually, it may be possible (and I am not sure without reading the
sources): One could read, implant and write back the databases, but we
do not have the tools to do that easily, hence some work would be needed
to find out. Anyway, it simply does not make sense to mess around given
you just need to ask for the source package in order to change the stuff.
Best,

Hi all, I got a custom R package in .zip (i.e. meant only for Windows
installation). When I load that package, there are some start-up messages,
probably loading through .onLoad() function. However I want to modify those
messages. Please note that I do not have any other version of that package like
.tar.gz fomat etc.
Having only the .zip version, is there any possibility to modify those start-up
functionalities of that package?
You should always modify packages by applying the changes to the source
package and reinstall that. Hence ask those who provided the binary
package for a source version.

Thanks for your help.
