Dan,

   Apparently the 'e' in the subject line fell off. It's 'reshape2'.

   I, too, don't know how the two packages 'reshape, The Orignal' and
'reshape2, Rebooted' differ. The two articles by Hadley that I read
("Statistical Computing and Graphics", 2005, and "Journal of Statistical
Software", 2007) do not explicitly specify which version of reshape is
addressed.
