Doug,

A search using Jon Baron's page came up with the following thread:

https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2000-April/004898.html

by Kjetil Kjernsmo

and the following post by Torsten Hothorn:

https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2000-March/004345.html

I checked "Rhelp 1997-2001" on Jon's search page, otherwise these would
be missed.

Another approach would be to use Google with the following:

   lgrind site:https://stat.ethz.ch

which would search the archives, including r-devel.

HTH,

Marc
