Ted, that's great!
R-2.1.0 is scheduled to be released on April 18 (see
http://developer.r-project.org/).
It would be even better if you could try out the recent beta release of
R-2.1.0 right now in order to spot some possible bugs before release.
So it is the perfect occasion to clean up "norm" on R-2.1.0 beta this
weekend. ;-)
Best,
Uwe
