R devel - Oct 2000 - Rterm on Windows 2000 now works.

Guido has fixed Rterm hanging on Windows 2000 in interactive and --ess
modes.  The problem was that 'PulseEvent' doesn't work under 2000 as
documented (and I can find nothing about this in MicroSoft's Knowledge
Base except that it is known to happen under a debugger).

The cross-compiled pre-release at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/RWin/Rpre
now incoporates the fix, and we intend to make available a patched
R.dll for rw1011 shortly.

  A patched R.dll for rw1011 is available at
      ftp://ftp.stat.unipd.it/users/guido/RWin/fixed/
  In few days, it will be also available from your preferred CRAN
  mirror, in /bin/windows/windows-NT/base/fixed.
  There is a two lines ReadMe explaining how to install.	

  I would be glad to hear about successes and failures (not on the
  list, however).
