----------------------------
The first part of the procedure seemed to work, then came page after
page of error messages. Can someone tell me what is going on here and
how I can fix the problem? I found a similar report on R-help that
was never resolved and also involved a MAC
(http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/help/08/06/15556.html
). Could this be a MAC issue?
Thanks very much for your time.
