Royston's V' and v' functions

[Ralph Henderson <caralph@sympatico.ca>]

Dear S-list readers:

Royston described the effect of sample size on the p-value obtained from
the Shapiro-Francia test (Estimating departure from
normality.  Stat  Med 1991;10:1283-93).  He developed
two indices from the Shapiro-Francia test  (i) V'  
-  an index of departure from normality and (ii) v'  -  a
plot of the cumulative squared residuals.  

He mentioned the availability (in 1991) of a Minitab macro and a Stata
program for calculating V' and producing v' plots.  Unfortunately he
no longer has these scripts in his computer.  Therefore I wondered
if any reader of this list possessed S (or indeed R) versions of
Royston's routines?

I have, of course, done the usual searches but only obtain references to
Royston's own modifications of the Shapiro-Francia test itself.  Any
help or advice would be gratefully received.  Thank you.
