thanks
but if you mean this
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Installation

I have studied it  and I have not seen anything pretaining to using R on the 
command line to generat INDEX files. nor  rdb/rdx files

The closest  I came was an email to a list in 2006  which discussed  the 
latter
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2006-September/042700.html

and  this from 2003 pretaining to INDEX files
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2003-October/040862.html

So I am still unclear IF  one downloads an archived package and UNPACK it; if 
there are THEN  options to pass to R to generate INDEX files and  rdb/rdx 
files.

Are there?
