[R] <RBloomberg Package Problem>

[Shubha Vishwanath Karanth]

Thanks for your reply...

Then...Is it not good to download bloomberg data from R? I also saw that
the RBloomberg package has some error in the site
"http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/checkSummaryWin.html"
specified by you. Also, while downloading intraday data, even after
specifying only trading days, R used to give all non-trading day's data
also...thought it would not be updated...Is it reliable to go to R in
downloading data from Bloomberg? I am worried...

I guess the CRAN build process does not look for dependencies that
are not on CRAN?  Don't know why this worked in older versions of
R.  Maybe CRAN did not check dependencies back then?
