This was just discussed in another thread but batchfiles on CRAN (which is a collection of Windows XP batch files, not an R package) contains movedir.bat and copydir.bat that will move or copy your packages from one version of R to another. See the home page: http://code.google.com/p/batchfiles/ which gives links to the README where its explained and to the CRAN download area from where you can download it. movedir.bat is very fast (only a few seconds) but your packages will then only reside in the new version of R. copydir.bat is slower but makes copies rather than moving the packages. Neither will overwrite anything so they are both pretty safe to use. ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
