• doc.R: package and dataset documentation

• get.R: functions to download and format additional data

• qog.R: functions to download and manipulate QOG datasets

• utils.R: internal utilities coded mostly by others

• xt.R: functions to manipulate the xtdata attribute

• xtfuncs.R: functions for data carrying an xtdata attribute

• xtplots.R: plots for data carrying an xtdata attribute

This is a demo. There might be sufficient functionality by version 1.0 to justify turning the xtdata attribute into a proper S3 or S4 class. For related packages, check e.g. the DataCombine package for working with CSTS data.
