Dr. Harrell,

Thanks for your help. I have downloaded latex.s, but am unable to figure
out where it should go. How do I ensure that it is called when I load
Hmisc? Do I patch it against R/Hmisc?

I have a local directory structure in ~/Library/R/library/Hmisc/:

-rw-r--r--  1 user  user  594 12 May 19:20 CITATION
-rw-r--r--  1 user  user  989 12 May 19:20 DESCRIPTION
drwxr-xr-x  3 user  user  102 12 May 19:20 Meta/package.rds
drwxr-xr-x  3 user  user  102 12 May 19:20 R/Hmisc
drwxr-xr-x  3 user  user  102 12 May 19:20 libs/Hmisc.so

Thanks for your patience.
