[R] RE: R 1.1.1 for Windows (NT/9x/2000)

[Richards, Tom]

Guido:

Thank you so much for this, but I wonder, when there is a new release of R,
how can I know which packages in contrib need to be re-compiled?  I still
have all the .zip files from 1.1.0 on my hard drive here, but I am unsure
whether to install them under 1.1.1.  Thanks for your help.
