Installation Instructions for the CIRCSTATS S-Plus Library ========================================================== UNIX Version Tested on S-PLUS 3.4, Release 1 for Sun SPARC, SunOS 5.3. Users of S-PLUS 5 or later, using the new style of help files will have to complete the following instructions and then convert the help files according to the documention provided with their versions of S-PLUS. 1) Decide on a directory in which to store the S-PLUS library, for example /SHOME/library/ 2) Create a directory "circular" in this directory, and move the compressed archive file "circular.tar.gz" into the directory "/SHOME/library/circular". 3) Unzip the compressed archive "circular.tar.gz", using the command gunzip circular.tar.gz 4) Extract the files from the resulting archive "circular.tar" by issuing the command tar xvf circular.tar You should now have a "README" file, a directory ".Data" with the S-PLUS functions, and a directory "/.Data/.Help" with the associated help files for the functions. 5) So that S-PLUS can locate the help files via the usual help interface, from within the "/SHOME/library/circular" directory, at the UNIX prompt type Splus help.findsum .Data 6) The Circular Statistics Library is now available for use. Once S-PLUS has been started, to access the functions in the library, issue the following command from the S-Plus prompt library(circular, lib.loc="/SHOME/library") The lib.loc option can be omitted if you have placed the circular library in the S-PLUS default location for libraries. ======================================================================== Ulric J.
