R help - Sep 1998 - Sv: R-beta: windows and dynload. ?Win98

It does, at least for a while. But when various more or less well behaved
programs enter the scene (harddisk) things changed, at least for me.
Reinstallation of R or windows didn't help, and I did not want to start
again from scratch with a reformat. I used rw0613.

Andrea Rossetti reported to me that the executable in rw0623b "can
dyn.load" on a Win98 machine in which rw0613 had problems.
So, his experience with Win98 is the same reported by Brian Ripley
with Win95a. 
I will have a Win98 machine +/- during next week. So, I will
be able to test directly.
But, in the meantime, if you have time, I will suggest to
upgrade to rw0623.
