[Rd] Documentation suggestions for vignettes

2009-01-14 Thread Perry de Valpine

Well, this is very reasonable and this is how it should be I would say. If it was consistent, there would be no problem as they would be easy to nail down. However, the problem is now that if I load pack3 only (which imports pack2 only) then as.POSIXct exported from pack1 is NOT available for funct
