Is it possible to run R soley from the shell? I'm evaluating necessary fixes to R and XLispStat (and eventually SAS and S-PLUS 4) for running as subprocesses to Emacs (NTEmacs) for ESS. Currently, I lose control of R when running via Emacs; is it possible to "remove" the windows? (all, or all but the graphics window)? best, -- -tony (Anthony Rossini) Statistics Dept., U South Carolina rossini at stat.sc.edu Columbia, SC 29208 http://www.stat.sc.edu/~rossini/ 803-777-3578(O) 803-777-4048 (fax) "'Bother,' said Pooh, as Cthulhu rose up and ate him." =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Tried that stunt with a cross-compile from Linux/gcc (in which case, even the makefiles work). Starting from Unix sources, there were (essentially) only a few pieces of "X-orcism" needed and one or two difficulties with nonexisting math functions and addresses of functions defined as macros. How to get the graphics window back is an exercise for the reader.... -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
