[R-pkgs] Dummy's guide to S4 methods: package Brobdingnag

[Robin Hankin]

Hello List.

please find uploaded to CRAN a new package, Brobdingnag.

This package does two things:

(1) allows computation of very large numbers using a logarithmic  
representation.

(2) provides a "Hello, World" example of S4 methods in use: there are  
two classes of object
   (brob and glub) and one virtual class (swift).  The package  
includes a vignette that is a
    step-by-step guide to using S4 methods in the context of an R  
package.


Enjoy

Robin
