Today I have installed R 1.02.1  on my MSW-95 laptop;
it essentially worked, but thre are two problems:

1) Although I have chose to install "standard", compiled HTML"
and "WinHelp"  documentation files, and in spite of the fact
that the installer program mwinst.exe reported to hve done this, 
only the first type of documentation is actually accessible
from the Help menu of RGui.

2) I have then attempted to load some packages, but some of
them are declared "non-existent"... see below.
Some others (sm, survival5, nlme) installed correctly and they work;
so the missing "lib" 

>  install.packages(c("sm","sn","integrate","survival5","nlme"))

Delete downloaded files (y/N)? y

Warning messages: 
1: argument `lib` is missing: using C:/STAT/R/RW1021/library in:
install.packages(c("sm", "sn", "integrate", "survival5", "nlme")) 
2: No package "sn" on CRAN. in: download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd,
available = available,  
3: No package "integrate" on CRAN. in: download.packages(pkgs, destdir =
tmpd, available = available,  


> install.packages("integrate")
Warning messages:

Thanks for your attention and consideration.
