  Matt,
   my imagemap package is all R code - if you can extract the .tar.gz
file (ask a friendly local linux user to do it, or install cygwin) then
you just need to source the .R files.

  Okay, I've zipped this up here:

http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/Software/Imagemap/imagemap.zip

  note this is probably *not* an installable package. Unzip it, then
source() the .R file. Also, it was designed for R 1.8.x, and R has moved
on so things may have changed and not work anymore. Someone could
probably easily build a windows .zip package for installation...
