[R-gui] your favourite spreadsheet-like data viewer or editor?

Hi David,

As Ian's suggested, you can install the latest version of R or you can 
download speedR package to your local disk 
(https://r-forge.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/latest/speedR_1.0.zip) and 
install it by using the menu  "Install package(s) from local zip file...".

You will get a warning saying "package 'speedR' was built under R 
version 2.12.0" that you can ignore.

best wishes,
ilhami visne

P.S.: By mistake first i've uploaded a test version, which is fixed but 
maybe not rebuild yet by r-forge. Be sure you get the last one.
