OK, it's somewhat clearer now.  Since npk is only created if !has.VR
is TRUE, it won't happen unless MASS isn't available.  I don't think
that's the intention.

But everyone who doesn't have an npk object will have the same
problem, so I'd expect that means everyone who runs that script.

Anyone with a better experience?
