3. If you are not sure whether or not you have gdata installed try: library(gdata) If that works (i.e. you get no error message) then you have gdata installed and you can get help like this: library(help = gdata) and for each topic listed you can get help like this: ?read.xls and so on. -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
