[R] (no subject)

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Dear William,

Please use a more informative subject line (as the posting guide asks you to do).

Backslash have a special function. In file paths you need to use either double backslashes or forward slashes.

'C:\\Users\\Bill\\Desktop\\DMwR_0.2.1.zip'

'C:/Users/Bill/Desktop/DMwR_0.2.1.zip'

Best regards,

Thierry

PS It might be time to upgrade your R version. R 2.10.1 is quite old. R 2.14.0 will be available within a month.
