Yes, he is. Brian Ripley put together a copy that will build and install on Windows; I think it is just a matter of a short wait before those patches are incorporated in the main copy and it is sent to CRAN. Matrix is a big package, and it tests lots of code in R. I spent a day earlier this week tracking down a bug in R-devel that it revealed. It was a tricky one, because it only generated a warning; when warnings were converted to errors, the problem went away. Luke Tierney pointed out a nice trick that made it easier to find such a thing, and I've added it to my debugging web page here: <http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/murdoch/software/debuggingR/#tryCatch> Duncan Murdoch > > Andy > >> From: Sean Davis >> >> On 11/11/05 8:38 AM, "Spencer Graves" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> > Yesterday, I installed R2.2.0 for Windows [Version 2.2.0 >> (2005-10-06 >> > r35749)].
