/ The phrase "does not work" is not very helpful, it can \
| mean quite a few things including: * Your computer |
| exploded. * No explosion, but smoke is pouring out the |
| back and microsoft's "NoSmoke" utility is not |
| compatible with your power supply. * The computer |
| stopped working. * The computer sits around on the |
| couch all day eating chips and watching talk shows. * |
| The computer has started picketing your house shouting |
| catchy slogans and demanding better working conditions |
| and an increase in memory. * Everything went dark and |
| you cannot check the cables on the back of the computer |
| because the lights are off due to the power outage. * R |
| crashed, but the other programs are still working. * R |
| gave an error message and stopped processing your code |
| after running for a while. * R gave an error message |
| without running any of your code (and is waiting for |
| your next command). * R is still running your code and |
| the time has exceeded your patience so you think it has |
| hung. * R completed and returned a result, but also |
| gave warnings. * R completed your command, but gave an |
| incorrect answer. * R completed your command but the |
| answer is different from what you expect (but is |
| correct according to the documentation). |

| There are probably others. Running your code I think |
| the answer is the last one. Greg Snow R-help April |
