Thanks for the help. I do update to the latest R-4.0.2. As I said, for
reasons that's hard to explain, some of my tasks are better handled with
an older version of R, in this case R-3.0.3. Please just help me install
packages successfully with this older version of R.
I ran the following line but obviously was not getting it across.
=====
> install.packages("aod",repos='https://cran-archive.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/')
> Warning in install.packages : unable to access index for repository
http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.0 Warning in
install.packages : unable to access index for repository
https://cran-archive.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/3.0/bin/windows/contrib/3.0
Warning in install.packages : package ‘aod’ is not available (for R
version 3.0.3)
