[R] combining two distributions

[Spencer Graves]

       Have you considered "distr" and related packages?


       If this does not solve your problem, have you considered 
searching with "findFn" in the "sos" package?  If that still does not 
produce sufficient enlightenment, please try this list again with 
"commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code" describing what 
you want in a bit more detail (as indicated at the end of emails on this 
list).

I am trying to have one distribution that is "classical" thin tailed one and another one which is more like a power law or close (pareto,gamma,weibull, log-normal).
