[R] running SJava

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

The URI you quote says SJavaWin 0.62-8 is for R 1.3.1 (which is a year
old).  The current version of SJava is 0.65-0.  I don't think you can run
0.62-8 on later versions of R.

BTW, there are separate email lists for the Omegahat packages
on www.omegahat.org which look to me to be more appropriate.
