R-beta: MASS libraries for R

We have made a nearly complete set of the V&R2 libraries for R.
These are in the devel section of contributions to CRAN as

	VR5.3pl021-1.tar.gz

and at

	http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/R/VR5.3pl021-1.tar.gz
	ftp://ftp.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/R/VR5.3pl021-1.tar.gz

They have been developed under a very recent snapshot, and this is
probably needed.  Also in that file is a set of scripts from the book
modified for use with R.

This is a beta-test version: we are interested to hear of your
experiences but will not support this seriously until R-0.62 is
released.  We are grateful to Kurt Hornik and Albrecht Gebhardt
for their work on earlier versions.

The current status is

MASS:		almost all working, the remaining things depend
		   on bug fixes or on Trellis, nls, ...
class		OK
nnet		OK
spatial		OK

To come are a R clone of the tree() software and of RPART, both
of which are done but need more testing.
