classAgreement)

Oops...
It appears that my mail filtering system decided that postings from
that list were SPAM and I missed the whole discussion :(
Rand index (implemented by classAgreement() in R) is exactly
what I need.
Unfortunately, because of the stupid mail filter I discovered it after
I
already implemented one myself...
