[R] Low level algorithm conrol in Fisher's exact test

Hi folks,

Forgive me if this question is a trivial issue.

I was doing a series of Fishers' exact test using the fisher.test
function in stats package.
Since the counts I have were quite large (c(64, 3070, 2868, 4961135)), R
suggested me to use
*other algorithms* for the test which can be specified through the
'control' argument of the
fisher.test function as I understood. But where can I find other
algorithms that I can use?
I hoped I could find relevant information in the manual but could not.

Can anybody help me out there?

Many thanks in advance.

Kihwang
