R help - Nov 1997 - R-beta: Latin-1 characters in R and X

Hi!

I have tried to print text with Latin-1 characters (????) from R to
postscript and X11 window but when I'm using the interactive R-shell, I
can't get them printed even from keyboard. Is there some configuration
flags to use 7-bit or 8-bit character sets?

TIA

Juha

You didn't say which version of R you are using;

It is true that  0.50-a4 still doesn't properly work with these.
However, I though Windows "Rsept" was somewhat newer...

Anyway, in current source (unreleased) version, it's all nice :
> M?chler <- 1:3
> ls(pat="^M")
[1] "M?chler"
> M?chler
[1] 1 2 3

Does anyone else's mailer refuse to process messages from r-help in
"quoted-printable" encoding?  Pine 3.92 barfs on the
r-help banner added to the end of the message, because the
banner uses 'minus' and 'equals' in a repeating pattern.
Since 'equals' is the 'escape' character for quoted-printable
encoding, it should only appear as the lead-in to an encoded octet
or a <CR><LF> pair.  The 'equal' 'minus' pair _can_
be used
in a multipart delimiter, so perhaps that was the intention
and the 'multipart' header is getting trashed somewhere.
