Hi Vivianne,

Thanks for giving our package a try!

I am sorry you were unable to download the package- the R-Forge servers have
been very unstable for the last two months ever since the big power outage
in Vienna and  the GForge -> FusionForge upgrade.

I just checked the Leopard build folder and it seems that tikzDevice-0.5
beta was built yesterday (July 1st), you should be able to install it now by
running the following command:

  install.packages( 'tikzDevice', repos='http://r-forge.r-project.org' )

I hope to push version 0.5 to CRAN next week.

Thanks for locating spelling mistakes in our Vignette- English is our first
language and after years of schooling you would think we would get it
right... :P

Hope you have a great weekend!

-Charlie
