[R-sig-ME] env() error message

[array chip]

Dear Dr. Bates,

I am wondering if you are able to update the book chapters for lme4 package. The 
current version of the book has been a tremendous help to me learning mixed 
model in R except some of the functions used in the book doesn't work anymore.

Thank you for your excellent work.

John

The env function was in an unreleased version of the lme4 package and
has now been retired.

I am preparing for a tutorial at the useR!2010 conference next week
and will have the versions of lme4 and the book chapters and the
slides coordinated by then.
