Installation Instructions for the CIRCSTATS S-Plus Library ========================================================== Windows Version 1) Decide on a directory in which to store the S-Plus library, for example C:\Splus\library\circular\ 2) The file named "circular.exe" is a self-extracting archive of the files making up the library. A 32-bit version of Windows is required (Windows 95, 98 or NT) to unpack the archive successfully. To extract the files from the archive, simply double click on the filename, from within the file manager window. You will be asked where to extract the files to. Select the directory from 1). 3) The CIRCSTATS S-Plus 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="C:\\Splus\\library\\") Note the double back-slashes. 4) Help files on all functions in the library are also available using the standard help interface for S-Plus for Windows. Once the library has been accessed according to 3), help on a particular function, say "function.name", can be obtained by the S-Plus command ?function.name ======================================================================== Ulric J.
