This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-gplots package of caTools, a
package with programming tools for plotting data for GNU R. caTools was
written and compiled by Jarek Tuszynski <jaroslaw.w.tuszynski@saic.com>.
Parts of the code were adopted from earlier work of David Koblas.

This package was created by Steffen Moeller <moeller@debian.org> following
a template of Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>.  The sources were
downloaded from 
	http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/

The package was renamed from its upstream name 'caTools' to
'r-cran-catools' to fit the pattern of CRAN (and non-CRAN) packages for
R.
