\begin{Description}\relax
These functions are provided for compatibility with older versions of
\R{} only, and may be defunct as soon as of the next release.\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
.Deprecated(new)
.Alias(expr)
reshapeWide(x, i = reshape.i,
             j = reshape.j,
             val = reshape.v,
             jnames = levels(j))

reshapeLong(x,jvars,  ilev = row.names(x),
             jlev = names(x)[jvars],
             iname = "reshape.i",
             jname = "reshape.j",
             vname = "reshape.v")
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Details}\relax
\code{.Deprecated("<new name>")} is called from deprecated
functions. The original help page for these functions is available at
\code{help("oldName-deprecated")} (note the quotes).

\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 replace by
\code{\Link{reshape}}. This has a different syntax and allows multiple
time-varying variables.  See \code{\Link{reshapeLong-deprecated}} and
\code{\Link{reshapeWide-deprecated}} for the earlier syntax.\end{Details}
