[R] There is no package gregmisc (was why package gregmisc did not work)

[Prof Brian Ripley]

As it says very clearly:

   There is no package called 'gregmisc'
               ^^^^^^^

There is a _bundle_ called 'gregmisc', containing packages gtools, gdata, 
gmodels and gplots.  There used to be a package called `gregmisc', but 
there is no more.

See http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/gregmisc.html
