[R] Need help on an error, when looding library(uroot)

[Rolf Turner]

I noticed, upon further digging around, that the help for the uroot
package lists a function ``as.numeric'' in its index.  However in my
version of the package no such function appears to exist.  If I do an
ls() of the appropriate search list item, the only ``as.'' item that
shows up is ``as.vdate''.  Also find() and getAnywhere() indicate
only the existence of the base version of as.numeric().

It could be that an as.numeric() function was in an older version of  
the uroot
package and has since been removed (but not deleted from the index).   
Such a
function would in all likelihood be a source of problems. Make sure  
you are using
the latest version of uroot.

	cheers,

		Rolf Turner
