[R] Organizing the help files in a package

[Rangrej, Jagadish]

Hi Uwe!!!

thanks for the reply,

I have two question:
1. I am getting error of "bad command.." when I run:
   C:\......>rcmd install pubbias
      done till contians
      making ....
      Bad command or file name
      ...else part..   

   Which I found out, is due to "make" command, I suppose my computer(win
98)
   does not have make facility... where can i get that, if not can i 
   have any workaround method for it.

2. I have installed full binary of R1.4.1 for "developers..", I suppose
   the way it forms the zipped file is some what looks like unix type
   .tar.gz, I don't have tar appln in my machine, what should I do ?


I'd appreciate any pointers too...
thanking you and all,
-jag
