[R] FW: How to create a new package?

[Berton Gunter]

Quicker and dirtier is to simply save a workspace  with your desired
functions and attach() it automatically (e.g. via .First or otherwise) at
startup (?Startup for details and options). Of course none of the tools and
benefits of package management are available, but then I did say quicker and
dirtier.
