If I use the Ineq library and the Gini function in this way:

>Gini(c(100,0,0,0))

I obtain the result 0.75 instead of 1 (that is the perfect inequality).

I think Gini's formula in Ineq is based on a formula as reported here:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GiniCoefficient.html

but in the case of perfect inequality:

x_1=.......=x_n-1 =0

x_n>0

these formula are equal to 1 - 1/n, not to 1.

....I don't know where I'm wrong....
