   Hi,

   due to some FTP problems in Auckland and me not being in office
   yesterday R 0.64.2 took some time to travel from Denmark to New
   Zealand and then back to Europe ... but now it is finally available at
   the CRAN master site

	   http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/R

   here in Vienna and it should propagate to the
   various miroors within the next 24 hours or so.

   Best,
   Fritz

I downloaded 64.2 from blueberry a few days ago and compiled with no
problem.  There seems to be some problem with the netscape help pages,
however.

> help.start()

starts fine, but some clickable links don't work.  For example,
clicking on \link{dyn.load} brought on by the search engine gets
bumped, as the page it's looking for was dyn.load.html, whereas typing

>help(dyn.load) 

from the command line brings up the desired page dynload.html.  There
were several instances like this, but I can't remember the others at
the moment.

I don't remember running into the problem with 64.1.

Is this a bug?

Also, can someone double check the negative binomial distribution
documentation?  I raised the question a while ago but no one seems
interested.  This concerns the composite Poisson scenario: according
my algebra, size=(1-prob)/prob instead of its reciprocal as
documented.
