Hello, experts!
I've tried to convert MASS.Rd, for instance:
R CMD Rdconv -t txt MASS.Rd -o MASS.txt 2>MASS.log
Comp was thinking for a long, about 30s on Linux 600MHz/128M,
but after that R didn't produce the result MASS.txt file, but
very large log. Here is its header:
******* Syntax error: mismatched or missing brackets in
/-----
\name{Aids2}
\alias{Aids2}
\title{
Australian AIDS Survival Data
}
\description{ ...
and so on, almost entire MASS.Rd followed ..
The same situation with man/*.Rd file of any other package.
Where am I wrong?!
Excuse me for my unexperience,
Thanks a lot!
PS I'm using R 1.5.0 under Linux (Debian woody) on i386 platform.

R CMD Rdconv is designed to convert an Rd file from a source package. If you look into the MASS sources (in package VR), you will find MANY of those Rd files, which can be converted with R CMD Rdconv perfectly...

Hello!
Thanks a lot for your answer!
But, excuse me please for that questions:
1) What the "binary" package means?
(I found out under R/library/<pkg-name>/ only <pkg-name>.so
binary files under libs/ directory ... )
2) Do I need them?
(I tried to INSTALL some source packages from CRAN,
and all of them are working perfectly)
3) WHY processing *.Rd files, as you mentioned, from "binary"
packages gets fail?? Are they corrupted by some way?
Well, why then are they distributed with R distribution
(r-base-core deb package on my Linux system)?
Excuse me, if answers will be quite simple and obvios..
Thank you!
Goodbye.
