This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-fbasics package of fBasics, a set
of functions for basic statistics, date and time management, and part
of Rmetrics, a collection of packages for financial engineering and
computational finance. Both fBasics and Rmetrics were written and
compiled primarily by Diethelm Wuertz, with code by others (see below
for fBasics).

This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>.
The sources were downloaded from 
	http://www.rmetrics.org
and are also available from
	http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/
and all CRAN mirrors as e.g.
	http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/

The package was renamed from its upstream name 'fBasics' to
'r-cran-fbasics' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages
for R.
