I want to show students how the survival object looks like in R.
Reproducible example:

library(MASS)
data(Aids2)
attach(Aids2)
status <- status=="D"
stime <- death-diag
surv <- Surv(stime, status)
D <- data.frame(stime, status, surv)
head(D,20)
   stime status x..i..
1    176   TRUE   176 
2     67   TRUE    67 
3    432   TRUE   432 
4     77   TRUE    77 
5    275   TRUE   275 
6    373   TRUE   373 
7    389   TRUE   389 
8   1027   TRUE  1027 
9    492   TRUE   492 
10   434   TRUE   434 
11    16   TRUE    16 
12   308   TRUE   308 
13    92   TRUE    92 
14   265   TRUE   265 
15  1052  FALSE  1052+
16   132   TRUE   132 
17   527   TRUE   527 
18   581  FALSE   581+
19   511  FALSE   511+
20   151   TRUE   151 

detach(Aids2)

The 'surv' column is strangely labelled 'x..i..'.
