Hi Duncan, on a related note: It would be nice to have a function similar to tools::readNEWS() for showing package-specific CHANGES/NEWS files (if available).
Something like: "showNews" <- function(pkgname, filename = c("NEWS", "CHANGES")) { filename <- match.arg(filename) file.show(paste(.libPaths(), pkgname, filename, sep = "/"), title = paste("Package information for", pkgname)) } showNews("MASS") showNews("multcomp", "CHANGES") # requires 'multcomp' to be installed Just an idea!
