Thread-topic: [S] Matrix Library
Unfortunately, you can't use a pre-Sv4 version (such as from S-PLUS 2000) of 
the Matrix library with S-PLUS 6.1 for Windows.  That library needed a lot of 
porting from Sv3 to Sv4, and it's not yet available for Windows.

We do plan to reinstate it for a future version of S-PLUS, but probably not 
before Version 7.  We did port the commonly-used determinant function to the 
main library. If you need other functions from that library other than 
determinant, it'd help if you and others could let me know which ones, to help 
me gauge where the priorities lie.

Thanks,
# David Smith
