Re: [R] creating a distinct zip file
What is a compiled zip? There is a warning against using that term in section 1 of the Writing R Extensions documentation, along with a discussion of why it is ambiguous at best. Can you read that and clarify your statement? Since you make this assertion that R CMD INSTALL --build does not do what you want it to, I am not sure we are speaking of the same kind of file. If we are, then you may not have your system configured correctly. --- Jeff NewmillerThe . . Go Live... DCN:jdnew...@dcn.davis.ca.usBasics: ##.#. ##.#. Live Go... Live: OO#.. Dead: OO#..
