This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-foptions package of fAsianOptions,
a set of functions for pricing and hedging of asian (i.e. averaging)
option financial options, and part of Rmetrics, a collection of
packages for financial engineering and computational finance. Both
fAsianOptions and Rmetrics were written and compiled primarily by
Diethelm Wuertz.

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 'fAsianOptions' to
'r-cran-fasianoptions' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN)
packages for R.
