     `.Deprecated("<new name>")' is called from deprecated functions.

     `*.url' are replaced by calling `read.table', `scan' or `source'
     on a `url' connection.

     `httpclient' is used by the deprecated `"socket"' method of
     `download.file'.

     `parse.dcf' has been replaced by `read.dcf', which is much faster,
     but has a slightly different interface.
