OpenBUGS is distributed under GPL2, so this seems not to apply. It is distributed as source and as binaries: the difficulty is that it is written in Object Pascal for which a compiler is not readily available. On Tue, 7 Aug 2007, Hin-Tak Leung wrote: > Prof Brian Ripley wrote: >> On Mon, 6 Aug 2

At http://cran.at.r-project.org/ it reads that "The latest release (2007-04-24): R-2.5.0.tar.gz (read what's new in the latest version)." I'm assuming this should be referencing 2.5.1? --Matt Matt Austin Statistician Amgen, Inc __ R-devel@r-project.

Thank you for your response. This is a good idea. Although I use my own packages, some of them using other R API's, I missed the optimization ones. Thanks again. Petr Savicky. On Mon, Aug 06, 2007 at 07:16:11AM -0700, Thomas Lumley wrote: > On Mon, 6 Aug 2007, Petr Savicky wrote: > > >Question.
