I've developed a new R debugging tool, debugR, available at http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/debugR.html This basically replaces my edtdbg, which I will no longer be supporting. The new tool is now decoupled from one's text editor, and has a lot more features than edtdbg did. Try it! Feedback is encouraged, of course. Norm Matloff

Hello Norm, I just noticed you posted this to the R help a while ago, and wanted to invite you to write some guest R post about your new debugging system for R (how to easily install/use it). I will gladly guest post it on my blog and then also on r-bloggers.com(where it is likely to get some good exposure) p.s: I got your book on my bookshelf, and hope to read it in this upcoming year.

Do I have to write a script file for debugging, or * is * there an option to run it from within R to debug a function instead of a * script? * * Rainer One does indeed basically debug at the function level (or set of functions), as desired. The user specifies on the command line a file in which those functions reside. (In time, I can broaden this.) The best way to see the operation is to try the Quick Start. It really IS quick! Just go to http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/debugR.html where I've now included the Quick Start. I hope to write up a longer example for Tal's e-newsletter. Norm
