Description: The gregmisc package is a repository for a variety of
functions that I find myself needing but that don't seem
to be available somewhere else. Most of the function in
the gregmisc library fall into six general areas:
permutations and combinations, tools for linear models,
plots, data manipulation, and fixed or extended versions of
existing functions.
