I just tried to find relevant information and searched the whole Writing R Extensions manual on word test. I have find information Martin stated above, but failed to find how *.Rout.save should be created. I think that manual should say that. Did I miss something obvious? I am also not able to find Rdiff COMMAND in man page of R under Debian. Browsing a bit in sources reveals that *.Rout.save is copy of R session (starts with "welcome" text and later one code and output is there). But how does one generate such a file? Additionally, does testing also test the first "welcome" text - different version of R haave a bit different "welcome" text and that should be an error then or ... Thanks!
