 Description: Kevin Dowd's book Measuring Market Risk is a widely read book 
-          in the area of risk measurement and is widely used by students and 
+          in the area of risk measurement by students and 
           practitioners alike. As he claims, MATLAB indeed might have been most 
-          suitable language when Dowd originally wrote the functions, however,
-          with growing popularity of R and a large user base, this project 
-          should make Dowd's code accessible to more readers. As Dowd's code 
-          was not intended to be error free and were more for reference, some 
-          functions in this package have inherited those errors. An attempt 
-          will be made in future to identify and correct them. Dowd's original 
-          code can be downloaded from . It should be noted that Dowd offers both
+          suitable language when he originally wrote the functions, but,
+          with growing popularity of R and a large user base it is not entirely 
+	  valid. As Dowd's code was not intended to be error free and were more 
+	  for reference, some functions in this package have inherited those 
+	  errors. An attempt will be made in future releases to identify and correct 
+	  them. Dowd's original code can be downloaded from www.kevindowd.org/measuring-market-risk/. 
+          It should be noted that Dowd offers both
           MMR2 and MMR1 toolboxes. Only MMR2 was ported to R. MMR2 is more 
           recent version of MMR1 toolbox and they both have mostly similar 
           function. The toolbox mainly contains different parametric and non 
 	  parametric methods for measurement of market risk as well as 
 	  backtesting risk measurement methods.
