[R] Where is MASS

[Rolf Turner]

You need to get the VR bundle from CRAN.  MASS has been part of the
VR bundle depuis longtemps.  Like forever.  But the packages in
the VR bundle ship with R by default, so if you've installed R
you should have those packages there automatically.

So it would seem that something got damaged in the R crash that
you spoke of.  Perhaps you should re-install R.
