I noticed that in "R version 2.4.0 alpha (2006-09-16 r39365)" on Windows XP that I get this error: C:\Rpkgs>Rcmd install mypkg no Perl script 'install' The same command worked with no error in 2.3.1pat. If I capitalize INSTALL it does work; however, this was not necessary previously. Note that C:\Rpkgs>Rcmd check mypkg unlike install, still works in either lower or upper case in 2.4.0 alpha.

This would seem to violate the user interface stereotype that command lines are case insensitive on Windows.
