Hmisc Package | Documentation with examples and output

NEW: There is now a ready-to-install version of the Hmisc library on this web site for S-Plus 6.x for Windows although it is out of date. You can also update the S source code at any time, which covers most of the changes to the library.

If you created data frames with Hmisc using earlier versions of S-Plus, especially if you used sas.get, you will need to run the data frames through the Hmisc cleanup.export function in 6.0 before using them. If you wish to export a data frame in 6.0 whose variables have labels, you will need to run such data frames through exportDataStripped first, to remove the labels.
