Pre-compiled binary packages for R-1.8.x for Windows
====================================================

***********************************************************
This collection is for rw1080/1 only. It is no longer being
updated: please update to rw1091. Last update: 20.06.2004.
***********************************************************

This collection is unsupported. Please compile from sources
yourself in case of any problems. Please ask the package maintainer
in case of any questions.

Building binary versions of the contributed packages on CRAN has
been automated. Binary packages will be available on CRAN about
1-3 days after the sources have been published. Please do *not*
submit binary versions of any packages, because that needs manual
intervention by this collection's maintainer (hence it is time
consuming).

Some packages have been working in a former version, but do no
longer compile on Windows or do not pass "Rcmd check". The last
`working' versions of these packages are available for manual
download in subdirectory ./last

Packages that do not compile out of the box or do not pass
"Rcmd check" with "OK" or at least a "WARNING" will *not* be
published. The results of "Rcmd check" are given in file "Status".
In case of a "WARNING" or an "ERROR", please check the 
corresponding check.log files in subdirectory ./check.
Packages marked with "Not-Checked" (currently "extRemes", "mimR" 
and "sound") need some manual interaction during the checks and 
have been checked at least once, but not automatically.

Possible reasons for not-compiling or not-passing the checks:
 - I do not have some other software the package depends on
 - The package needs manual configuration
 - Any other reason I do not want to discover

The packages
  fork, gtkDevice, hdf5, RArcInfo, rgdal, RmSQL, rpvm, 
  RQuantLib, rsprng, and udunits
require additional libraries / software to build on Windows I do
not have installed.

For compiling RQuantLib yourself, you might want to check out
Dirk Eddelbuettel's page:
http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rquantlib.html

Although the packages
  RMySQL, ROracle, and snow
pass make check, it seems to be dangerous to distribute them:
I do not have the software available these packages depend on.
RMySQL is available at http://stat.bell-labs.com/RS-DBI/download,
provided by its maintainer, David A. James.

The packages
  XML, ncdf, netCDF, and xgobi
do not build out of the box. Nevertheless these are available at
