\details{
  \code{.Defunct} is the function to which defunct functions are set.
  
  \code{category} has been an old-S function before there were factors;
  should be replaced by \code{\link{factor}} throughout!

  The \code{*chisq()} functions now take an optional non-centrality
  argument, so the \code{*nchisq()} functions are no longer needed.

  The new function \code{dev.print()} should now be used for saving
  plots to a file or printing them.

  \code{provide} and its object \code{.Provided} have been removed.
  They were never used for their intended purpose, to allow one
  package to subsume another.

  \code{dotplot} and \code{stripplot} have been renamed to
  \code{\link{dotchart}} and \code{\link{stripchart}}, respectively.

  \code{getenv} has been replaced by \code{\link{Sys.getenv}}.


  \code{*.url} are replaced by calling \code{read.table}, \code{scan} or
  \code{source} on a \code{\link{url}} connection.

  \code{httpclient} was used by the deprecated \code{"socket"} method
  of \code{\link{download.file}}.

  \code{parse.dcf} has been replaced by \code{read.dcf}, which is much
  faster, but has a slightly different interface.

    \code{.Alias} provided an unreliable way to create duplicate
  references to the same object. There is no direct replacement. Where
  multiple references to a single object are required for semantic
  reasons consider using environments or external pointers. There are
  some notes on \url{http://developer.r-project.org}.

  \code{reshape*}, which were experimental, are replaced by
  \code{\link{reshape}}. This has a different syntax and allows multiple
  time-varying variables.
