  Sorry if I wasn't explicit enough.  You need to get the MASS library
from CRAN (or wherever you obtained R from), install it (you can do this
using R INSTALL or the rwinst executable, depending on which platform
you're using), and then load it in using the commands I suggested.  You
won't then actually have a "michelson.dat" data file (although you could
create one), but you will have access to that data set from within R --
which I presume is good enough.

  In case you still can't find it, I've created the appropriate data file
by doing:

library(MASS)
data(michelson)
sink("michelson.dat")
michelson
sink()

and sent it to you separately (didn't want to clutter up the list).

  Can't help you with that, but I believe that you've received all the
mail that got sent to the list on this subject.
