Dear useR

I want to know why package gregmisc did not work very
well. I did not find this package in my library
directory.

> local({a <- CRAN.packages()
+ install.packages(select.list(a[,1],,TRUE),
.libPaths()[1], available=a, dependencies=TRUE)})

I use windows 2000 Professional and R version 2.0.0
> version
         _              
platform i386-pc-mingw32
arch     i386

Then I check:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/checkSummaryWin.html
package gregmisc only warning on R-1.9.1 not R-2.0.0

Best regards,
