Note that this has two "problems" IMO, which Jens' R-only solution does not have: 1) dataload is *not* free software in the sense of the Free Software Foundation (which has existed for a much longer time than MS windows!): It's only "free" as in "free beer", not "free" as in "free speech" . For more, read the "Free as in Freedom" main link on http://www.fsf.org/ 2) dataload is only available as *binary* on *some* platforms, as opposed to R which is available to everyone working with it :-) Martin Maechler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://stat.ethz.ch/~maechler/ Seminar fuer Statistik, ETH-Zentrum LEO C16 Leonhardstr. 27 ETH (Federal Inst.
