[Rd] obstacles to using vectors with attributes

Hi all, I am working on an application in which we'd like to use attributes to attach simple metadata to arbitrary R objects. It is essential that all functions that will work on the original object will also work on the object after metadata attributes have been added. However, this is not al

Hi, Prof. Ripley (and Berwin for his off-list reply), Thanks for the reply. Yes, I know this is not the recommended mode. I guessed as much when I could not find a simple answer in R-admin. The is actually our current mode of installation at the client. But some suggestions from management have
