Your line worked very well. [Thanks for telling me. However I did it last time was worse than sticking daggers in my eyes. ] install.packages( "RGoogleDocs", repos="http://www.omegahat.org/R";, type="source" ) I now have Package: RGoogleDocs Version: 0.4-0 Title:.... .... Maintainer: Duncan Temple Lang <dun...@wald.ucdavis.edu> Packaged: 2009-10-27 22:10:22 UTC; duncan Built: R 2.10.0; ; 2009-11-25 20:59:03 UTC; windows I am providing the following link to a copy of my RGoogleDocs zipped directory. It is for people who run R in windows and do not want to go through the pain of setting things up so that they can install source. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23200/RGoogleDocs/RGoogleDocs.zip I BELIEVE that if one downloads the zip and extracts it to an empty directory called RGoogleDocs in one's Library directory then everything will work. Please let me know.
