It is actually part of the file I downloaded at
    http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/epiR_0.9-19.tar.gz
(which is not available any more, but the fact is true for

    http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/epiR_0.9-22.tar.gz

as well).  So I *could* remove the PDF from the original tarball which
would resolve this issue for ftpmaster, but I do not intend to remove 
a reasonable chunk of data for the only purpose that the method to
generate this data is unknow to people who are not addictive to R.  If
you decide to not ship the PDF file in your source tarball and it was
just included by mistake it would be fine.

Simple ASCII text is always prefered.

Kind regards
