High all, I would appreciate input about how the following survival model
can be modeled in R and how competing risk models can generally be modeled.
Also I would appreciate hints about resources that you are aware of that
explain the use of survival models in R in greater detail. 

The data structure of my data is plotted below. My problem is that I don't
know how to model 4 different events in the same hazard model for which the
hazards are conditional on some other factor.

Conditions: 

0. All events are mutually exclusive
1. Either no event, Event1, or one of the Events 2-4 occurs (i.e. events 2-4
are competing)
2. Event1 can only occur if St.Beg=0 (it switches St.End from this period
and St.Beg from the following periods on to 1 until Event4 occurs).
3. Event2-4 can only occur if St.Beg=1

Time    St.Beg  St.End  Event1  Event2  Event3  Event4  Number
1       0       0       0       0       0       0       0
2       0       0       0       0       0       0       0
3       0       1       1       0       0       0       0
4       1       1       0       0       0       0       10
5       1       1       0       1       0       0       10
6       1       1       0       1       0       0       15
7       1       1       0       0       0       0       20
8       1       1       0       0       0       0       20
9       1       1       0       0       1       0       10
10      1       0       0       0       0       1       0

Thanks much for your help,
Daniel
