[R] R loop

[Petr Pikal]

Hi

you are correct as usually. It is about 10 versions 1.2.0 - 2.2.1 and 
as there are 2 versions per year it is about 4-5 years.

But nevertheless it seems to me as if I used R forever (and hopefully 
it will continue)

Anyway subsetting data frames **was** similar in the old versions as 
it is now, wasn't it?

Cheers
Petr
