Hello.
I need R in Version 1.8.0 or earlier. I also need the packages foreign, x-table and gregmisc for this version. Does anyone know where I can get it?
Start here: http://www.r-project.org/
Click CRAN. Choose a mirror.
Follow the "Source code of older versions of R is available here." link from the CRAN page.
You'll have to compile this, I cant find an archive of binaries. Easy on Linux, poss fiddly on Windows.
If you then go to the 'Contributed Extension Packages' link, you'll find an 'Archive' link at the bottom. Go there. Lots of old and crusty code.
But now you really want to get the most recent version that still works with R-1.8.0 (or whichever). Tricky. You really need to download all the versions for the packages you want, look at the DESCRIPTION files, and check the Depends: fields.
I did start work on a utility to do this, to make it easy to find the most recent version of a package for a given R version, but stopped half way through. Some other day...
