There are still a few differences (see the Invoking R appendix of the R-intro manual for the ones I know about). You may also need to define an alias for R.exe: Brian Ripley has told me that the tcsh shell he uses maps executable filenames to lowercase. >> Running "R" by itself will start Rterm.exe.

For consistency, >"R --gui=$something", maybe R --gui=windows, would be nice. That's not currently possible, but it would be an easy change. I wouldn't use the name "windows" for the gui: I'd want a name that distinguishes it from other GUIs on the Windows platform (though there are currently none shipping with R). Thinking about this, I thought of using "Rgui" as the name, but that means you'd type R --gui=Rgui instead of Rgui and it just didn't seem worth the effort. g Duncan Murdoch ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
