[R-sig-eco] Package bio.infer: Error Matching Taxa to ITIS Table

   Following the example in Lester Yuan's 2007 paper in the Journal of
Statistical Software I've bumped into a fence and need help getting over it.

   My data is in the same data frame format as his bcnt.OR data set:

head(bioinfer)
           SVN              Taxon CountValue
1 WP220110711  Zaitzevia.parvula        484
2 WP220110711           Tvetenia        109
3 WP220110711        Tubificidae       1054
4 WP220110711            Sweltsa         11
5 WP220110711 Suwallia.pallidula         32
6 WP220110711     Stempellinella         11

and I implement the code on page 5 of this article:

> library('bio.infer')
Loading required package: tcltk
Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done
> options(width = 60)
> data('itis.ttable')
> jercan <- get.taxonomic(bioinfer, itis.ttable, outputFile = 'sum.taxo.tbl.txt')
Error in get.taxonomic(bioinfer, itis.ttable, outputFile =
"sum.taxo.tbl.txt") :
   unused argument(s) (itis.ttable, outputFile = "sum.taxo.tbl.txt")

   I'd appreciate someone explaining the error message to me so I can fix it
and continue learning how to apply this package to my data.
