[R] Code density functions

[F Z]

Dear Andy

Thanks for your reply.  I don't seem to find the file that you suggested. I 
tried:

>file.show('C:/Program Files/R/rw1091/src/nmath/dnorm.c.')
NULL
Warning message:
file.show(): file C:/Program Files/R/rw1091/src/nmath/dnorm.c. does not 
exist

Then I looked at the directory and tried a file with similar name:

>file.show('C:/Program Files/R/rw1091/src/include/Rmath.h')

But this file does not show the actual code used to calculate the densities, 
only the declarations of the procedures.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks again!

Francisco Zagmutt :)
