I had to change DESCRIPTION.in (this is for R standard
 packages!!) to DESCRIPTION
{and then you don't need a TITLE file anymore).

Also the file permissions were wrong in quite a few places, you
had extra executable permission on simple text files.

(fine).

Note that I would recommend using a tests/ subdirectory
where you'd put some of the code currently in your (separately
packaged) ifs demo.

After the above changes, `R CMD check' only reports two
remaining problem groups :

1)
 >> * checking Rd files ... WARNING
 >> *  non-standard keyword(s) in `man/ifs.Rd': distribution function estimation

Note that you must choose from <RHOME>/doc/KEYWORDS

2)

 >>   * checking for undocumented objects ... WARNING
 >>   [1] "phi"    "SM.IFS"
 
 {you have to decide what to do here}.


    Stefano> thank you for your attention and I wish you an

The same to you and all other R-develers!
