Hi Ted,

You need to unzip and untar the files that are inside that file, and then
build the package using R CMD build --binary PackageName. However, for
compiling a package under a windows environment you will need Rtools2.10
from Duncan Murdoch, along with Miktex, and html workshop from microsoft.
All that is free. I suggest you to read tutorials on how to build packages
from sources in Windows. This website might be a good start point
http://www.biostat.wisc.edu/~kbroman/Rintro/Rwinpack.html.

Hope this helps,
