[R-SIG-Finance] RBloomberg

[John Laing]

Your version of RBloomberg is very old: 0.1-11. You will need to
upgrade to the most recent release (0.4-150), which can be done like
this:

install.packages("RBloomberg",repos="http://r.findata.org/")

You will also need to install rJava 0.9, which is available from CRAN.
