CRAN has a significant update to rms. Windows and unix/linux versions are available and I expect the Mac version to be available soon. The most significant improvement is addition of latex=TRUE arguments to model fitting print methods, made especially for use with Sweave.

Here is a summary of changes since the previous version.

Changes in version 3.1-0 (2010-09-12)
   * Fixed gIndex to not use scale for labeling unless character
* Changed default na.action in Gls to na.omit and added a note in the help file that na.delete does not work with Gls
   * Added terms component to Gls fit object (latex was not working)
* Added examples in robcov help file testing sandwich covariance estimator * Added reference related to the effects package under help file for plot.Predict
   * Added more examples and simulations to gIndex
* Fixed ancient bug in lrm.fit Fortran code to handle case where initial estimates are nearly perfect (was trying to step halve); thanks: Dan Hogan * Changed survdiffplot to use gray(.85) for bands instead of gray(.95)
   * Fixed formatting problem in print.psm
   * Added prStats and reVector functions to rmsMisc.s
* Changed formatting of all print.* functions for model fits to use new prStats function * Added latex=TRUE option to all model fit print methods; requires LaTeX package needspace
   * Re-wrote printing routines to make use of more general model
   * Removed long and scale options from cph printing-related routines
* Prepare for version 2.36-1 of survival package by adding censor=FALSE argument to survfit.coxph
   * Added type="ccterms" to various predict methods
* Made type="ccterms" the default for partial g-indexes in gIndex, i.e., combine all indirectly related (through interactions) terms
   * Added Spiegelhalter calibration test to val.prob
* Added a check in cph to trigger an error if strata() is used in formula * Fixed drawing of polygon for shaded confidence bands for survplot.survfit (thanks to Patrick Breheny <patrick.breh...@uky.edu>) * Changed default adjust.subtitle in bplot to depend on ref.zero, thanks to David Winsemius <dwinsem...@comcast.net> * Used a namespace and simplified referenced to a few survival package functions that survival actually exports
