-<p>A somewhat outdated package of basic and easy-to-use functions for
-fitting dose-response curves to continuous dose-response data,
-calculating some toxicological parameters and plotting the results.
-Please consider using the more powerful and actively developed ‘drc’
-package.</p>
+<p>drfit was the first package on CRAN dedicated to dose-reponse curve
+fitting. Its first release to CRAN was made in July 2004. In December
+2005, the wonderful drc package by Christian Ritz and Jens Streibig was
+published on CRAN. However, by that time our working group at the
+University of Bremen was already hooked on drfit.</p>
+<p>We kept our raw dose-response data in a MySQL database, which was
+accessed using the ‘drdata’ function. Of course this only worked with a
+suitable configuration of the ODBC data source.</p>
 <p>Functions that are fitted are the cumulative density function of the
 log-normal distribution (‘probit’ fit), of the logistic distribution
 (‘logit’ fit), of the Weibull distribution (‘weibull’ fit) and a
 linear-logistic model (‘linlogit’ fit), derived from the latter, which
 is used to describe data showing stimulation at low doses (hormesis). In
-addition, functions checking, plotting and retrieving dose-response data
-retrieved from a database accessed via ‘odbc’ are included. As an
+addition, functions checking and plotting are included. As an
 alternative to the original fitting methods, the algorithms from the
 ‘drc’ package can be used.</p>
 <p>More details can be found in the <a href="https://pkgdown.jrwb.de/drfit/reference/index.html">function
 reference</a>.</p>
+<p>The drfit package was archived on CRAN at my request on August 26,
+2023. The last version that was published is 0.7.2.</p>
