A bunch of files needed to install R-2.0.0 (alpha) on your computer can
be downloaded from http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/pub

This is not longer an installer package, but for the moment a bunch
of separate tgz and zip files, with instructions on where to unpack
them (you have to have admin privileges).

This comes with separate archives for g77, emacs-carbon, emacs-X11,
readline + Tcl/Tk (X11), GTK+OSX, R.framework and R.app. Here
R.app is a recent Cocoa interface by  Stefano Soatto and Simon
Urbanek.

This is a "batteries included" version of R, because it comes with
binaries for more than 560 packages, all recompiled for R-2.0.0.
Some of these packages are compiled using dynamic libraries that
may not be on your system -- if you run into this problem drop me
a line.

To run R (even from the command line) you need to install readline,
for graphics you need to have X11 installed.
