Splus users,

Thanks to Brian Ripley for his response to my question regarding
digamma and trigamma functions (see below).  He is quite right -
they weren't there in previous versions either.  I was working with
Splus 3.4 in a session where I had attached the MASS library, and
erroneously assumed that the digamma/trigamma functions were part
of the original Splus package.  Thanks for clearing this up!
