Months as a character vector?

[Karl Nissen <karl.nissen@anu.edu.au>]

Hi,

I'm trying to extract a character vector that has the name of the months. 
(S+ 6 on Windows 2000)
The best I can do is this.

> factor.names(as.data.frame(months(0)))
$X:
 [1] "Jan" "Feb" "Mar" "Apr" "May" "Jun" "Jul" "Aug" "Sep" "Oct" "Nov"
[12] "Dec"

Is there a neater, less roundabout way of doing this?

Thanks,

Karl
