[GenABEL-dev] GenABEL: Installation/load error on Unix, MAC and Windows...

[L.C. Karssen]

Dear both,

Yesterday evening Yurii uploaded GenABEL v1.7-3 to CRAN. I installed it
on our servers this morning but be careful with your choice of download
mirror. I used the Dutch one at first, but that one still had the older
version. The US mirror had the latest version.
