Arggggg. Uwe is of course right. Looking at the Recommended packages
directory, I did notice that some of the links had different icons from
the other link files. I must have unpacked it with cygwin, not with
Duncan's tools as instructed in R-admin. After redoing the unpacking,
everything went fine. Many thanks for spotting my stupidity,
