Dear R-help, I've encountered a problem using R-1.5.0 compiled from source on WinNT4. If I make a plot on the windows graphics device, and then select "File -> Print...", nothing happens. (I'd expect to see a printer selection dialog box opened, which is what happens with R-1.4.1 and earlier compiled from source.) Doing ctrl-p doesn't work either. Copying to clipboard, etc. still works. Has anyone experienced the same thing? Any hints?

We have seen the problem a short time before the release of R-1.4.0 (some R-1.4.0 devel) , I remind.

In general we would encourage people building from source to use R-patched (perhaps most easily via R-sync, but there are daily snapshots). There are a number of bug fixes/workarounds found whilst 1.5.0 was in code-freeze, as well as fixes for others reported since. Not only do you get better code but also we gain from the experience of people using the patched code. -- Brian D.

Thanks very much, Prof. Ripley. I will give that a try. As my colleague Bill Pikounis said in a private message, you never cease to amaze us!
