I was able to extract RGoogleDocs with 7-zip. That was when I began to appreciate the gravity of what Prof Ripley was saying. I am on a windows xp machine and the RGoogleDocs download does not have a windows binary version. Instead it has only a source package. I started using the R-admin manual to step through the process and got nowhere in about 45 minutes. Then I tried using the "automated package building service<http://win-builder.r-project.org/>you could try." and got nowhere because I did not know what "R CMD build" is. Can I find someone to do it for me or can I find someone who will give me a couple of basic steps at a time?
I am desperate to say goodbye to individual static Microsoft Access or Microsoft Excel spreadsheets being the repository for my data.
