[R] Downloading Package

[Vincent Stoliaroff]

Thank you very much to you 3
I didn't know it was possible to download, update and load the package 
directly within R. It is pretty convenient...
Eventhough my system was not correctly set up because I cannot open any url 
from R I finally succeed in installing the package after downloading it 
directly from 
http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/multiv.zip
and then installing it "from a local zip file"
Thanks again.
