Hi All,

together with colleagues we are planning to submit a 2.0 version of a package 
we have on CRAN.  Because the package deals with high throughput genomic data 
we though it would be nice to have some sort of guidance for the users.  This 
should ideally mean a 'vignette', but as the time of writing nobody had time to 
set one up.  What we have is three scripts that are heavily commented and a 
bunch of files (plink binary files and vcd files) that provide the 'example' 
data for these scripts.  I was wondering whether the /demo directory would be 
an appropriate place where to put these scripts and the relative data.  

I ask because I am checking the package build and I get:

checking index information ... WARNING
Demo index entries without corresponding demo:
[1] "/plink/MultiPhen_plink" "/simul/MultiPhen_simul" "/vcf/MultiPhen_vcf"
See the information on INDEX files and package subdirectories in the
chapter ‘Creating R packages’ of the ‘Writing R Extensions’ manual.

despite the fact I did create a 00Index file in /demo:

/demo$ cat 00Index
/plink/MultiPhen_plink     MultiPhen demo of how to use PLINK BED files
/simul/MultiPhen_simul     MultiPhen demo of how to run a simulation with 
MultiPhen
/vcf/MultiPhen_vcf     MultiPhen demo of how to use data in vcf format

What am I missing?  Given the state of the documentation (i.e. no vignette and 
demo scripts that rely on data that is not in .rda format) would we be better 
off removing this stuff altogether?
