At the top of the file there is the commented user notes. At the bottom of that block should be a line "getBioC File Version #XXX" (or, if your copy is sufficiently old, there won't be one at all). Is this there, and what is the # on it? Thanks -j

Hi Stephen, > Is this just me???? I just used getBioC() and then getBioC("all") on a fresh installation of R1.6.1 on Windows 2000 and it worked fine for me. Have you emptied your workspaces before running getBioC()? (I.e., could it be that you had overwritten the function "note"?)

Thanks I've got it working now after reinstalling R. A short note that Jeff Gentry said made me think that it was probably something more simple than this I left the computer on overnight and had the old BioBase loaded-- it was probably trying to use this old version during the install process (Maybe??)!! Doh..as they say.

It was just a wild guess, b/c the error message you had attached mentioned something about "function note not found". I am sorry I cannot be of more help; the best person for this is certainly Jeff Gentry. Also, if you just want to get going, you can of course download and install the packages you need manually.
