Thread-topic: timeRelative
In the S-PLUS 6 for Windows Guide to Statistics, Volume 2 July
(2001), page 186, the following code is given:

  > rt <- timeRelative("-a0mth - 1fri + 3fri")
  > timeDate(c("1/5/1998", "2/26/1998"),
  + format = "%a %m/%d/%Y") + rt
  [1] Fri 1/16/1998 Fri 2/20/1998

I have not been able to reproduce this, using S-PLUS 6.2 for 
Windows, build 6713:

  > rt <- timeRelative("-a0mth - 1fri + 3fri")
  > rt
  [1] "-a0mth - 1fri + 3fri"
  > timeDate(c("1/5/1998", "2/26/1998"), format = "%a %m/%d/%Y") + rt
  [1] NA NA
  >

Is there a library or option i need to load or set?
