[R] package/ date/ download problem

[S.McClatchie]

Colleagues

I want to download the package "date" from CRAN <http://cran.r-
project.org/>  to get the R-scripts (for version 1.2.0)

*** date/INDEX *** 
as.date Coerce Data to Dates 
date.ddmmmyy Format a Julian date 
date.mdy Convert from Julian Dates to Month, Day, and Year 
date.mmddyy Format a Julian date 
date.mmddyyyy Format a Julian date 
date.object Date Objects 
mdy.date Convert to Julian Dates  

However, the clickable download from ver.1.2-5 gives me only two R files
date.R
zzz.R

although I do get the help files for 
as.date.Rd 
date.ddmmmyy.Rd 
date.mdy.Rd  
date.mmddyy.Rd  
date.mmddyyyy.Rd  
date.object.Rd 
mdy.date.Rd  

As an alternate method I tried using the install.packages function from R

> install.packages("date","C:\Program Files\R 
environment\rw1020\library\","http://www.r-project.org",method = "auto", 
available = NULL, destdir = NULL)
Error: syntax error

but was not successful (I'm not sure why).

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks

Sam
