Thank you for contributing this package. It looks like a good addition
to the GenABEL suite.

We will be happy to do the review. Any volunteers can reply to the list
or send me a private e-mail (although we prefer the 'open' route of
using the mailing list).
Some time ago we set up a list of suggested questions to aid package
reviews at
http://genabel.r-forge.r-project.org/packageReviewGuidelines.html (of
course, suggestions for additions, corrections, etc. are very welcome).


Best regards,

Lennart.
