Hi to all!

I'm writing a small review article on robust regression and want to bias it
toward methods already implemented in standard statistical software.

Specific question: rank regression a la Hettmansperger/McKean is
implemented in an 'experimental' and, one suspects, officially deprecated
Minitab session command RREG. Is it available within any contributed
library for R?

General question [but to me by email rather than cluttering up the list,
please] Can you tell me about any particularly good or bad experiences that
you have had in using a particular kind of robust regression with real
data?  Although off-topic I will post a summary to the list unless I get
clear feed-back that I should not.
