This is the Debian GNU/Linux r-cran-fimport package of fImport, a set
of economic and financial data import functions for Rmetrics, a
collection of packages for financial engineering and computational
finance. Both fImport and Rmetrics were written and compiled primarily
by Diethelm Wuertz.

This package was created by Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>.
The sources were downloaded from the main CRAN site
	http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/
and are also available from all CRAN mirrors as e.g.
	http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/

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