My apologies if these are known -- I'm new to R (moved over from S-Plus). All on Windows NT GUI, R1.6.1 and associated packages.
1. save(x) gives the following error message: Error in save(x) : `file' must be non-empty string According to the save() help file, the empty string is the default. 2. In the file>Display file GUI menu, if you try to display a file that is in use by another application -- or at least one particular application I use -- R crashes. 3. I also have noticed that for ** SOME ** data sets I have, the relation= argument of the scales= option for xyplot (in Lattice) only works for relation='same' -- both 'free' and 'sliced' give error messages. Unfortunately, it's not handy for me to go reproduce the error at the moment, so I can't give the specifics. I'll send more details in future unless told that this is already known about. NEVERTHELESS -- I am hooked on R. I moved over from S-Plus because I was bothered by their failure to address known bugs and fix their documentation, which is appalling for the new object oriented features. Why should I pay for poor quality? As free and open source software, R has no obligation to do these things (or anything else, for that matter) better than its commercial cousin. But it does! This is just crazy! Aside from the mostly improved qualityand stability, there are lots more cool features,but that you know about.. Also, there aren't all the stupid S-Plus GUI features that I have to remove or ignore (although I did like the Object Explorer for keeping track of my objects and attached directories).
