R help - Dec 2006 - symbol.C is now deprecated?

Hello list,

I have a function that I wrote in C to be called in R. I've done that  
using symbol.C, which is the method I came across on the internet.

Now that it's supposed to be deprecated and can be removed in the  
next version of R (!!), what up-to-date method that replaces symbol.C?

cheers,
Wee-Jin

You don't need it at all.  Just give the entry point name directly in 
you .C() calls.  This is documented in the Writing R Extensions manual, 
with examples.
