[R-SIG-Finance] Estimating the T-S Garch model

[John Frain]

This script does not appear to work for me.  I have already loaded
fGarch 270.73 and when I try to run the script followed by the call to
the 'iinstall' program i get the error message below. (I have ran the
script from the internet and also downloaded it to my PC and the
result is the same).  |Packages|Update packages| works in the windows
GUI.  My version of fUnitRoots is 260.72 and it will not update.  I
had previously tried to download the zipped file for fUnitRoots and
failed.  I tried again this evening and failed again.  (I have
downloaded all the remaining Rmetrics files at this stage).

Best regards

John
