R help - Mar 1999 - typos

R version: RW0632

1. gnlm package, nlr() error message:

"Last global step failed to locate a point lower than x.
Either x is an approximate local minimum of the function,
the function is too non-linear for this algorithm,
or steptl is too large."

last line: steptol   (also, should it read "steptol is too small?")


2. help(glm)

"   Fitting Generalized Linear Models 
        glm(formula, family=gaussian, data, weightst=NULL, subsett=NULL,"

typos in  "weights" and "subset"  
 

Thank you!

This is a problem in a package: could you refer those to the package porter
(here Jim Lindsey) please. I will only update the binary versions for
rw0xx when the version on CRAN is updated (or if something is seriously
wrong).
