[R-SIG-Finance] fCopulae Availability?

[Talbot Katz]

Follow-up...

I had not mentioned previously that I was running R 2.4.1.  I just installed 
R 2.5.1 and was able to obtain the fCopulae package.  I didn't even ask for 
it specifically, I was just installing my previous list of libraries, and it 
got added in automatically as a dependency.  (On the downside, one of my 
previous libraries, DAAG, was no longer available, but that's just a 
collection of sample data sets.)

Thanks again!
