The Windows version of R does not support libraries yet.  The
addreg library can be used, since it contains no C or FORTRAN code.  It is
necessary to load it using the source() command.  The help will not be
available, but there is a PostScript manual with the library. 

If you have the newer version of addreg that supports model formulas then
this will not work under Windows, but there are instructions on how to
load only the older parts of the library in a README file.
