Dear Greg,
Thanks for the new release. The decomposition of the SSQ is just what I need!

Regards,
Martin.

Version 0.7.3 of the gregmisc package is now available on CRAN.  A compiled
windows package has also been sent to Brian Ripley for inclusion in the
windows package directory.

This version of gregmisc fixes a number of bugs and introduces several new
functions.

Highlights of this version:
===========================

New Features:
- Introduction of pdirichlet() and rdirichlet() functions.
- Addition of fast.prcomp() and fast.svd(), are more efficient than 
  the built-in versions on very wide matrixes.  (Short term solution 
  until patches are integrated into the R source.)
- Add permute() function as a convenience wrapper for sample()

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed bug in barplot2() when log scale axes are used.
- Fixed contrasts.lm() to allow use on aov objects
- Other miscellaneous bug fixes.
- Removed enhanced version of plot.lm() which has been broken by
  recent changes to R base packages.  

Documentation Enhancements:
- make.contrasts(), which allows easy creation of user specified
  contrasts, is now fully documented.
- Help files for make.contrasts and contrast.lm now show how to
  compute and test contrasts, including SSQ decompositions, in
  analysis of variance models
