The R signon banner includes this statement: Natural language support but running in an English locale Should that not say 'National' instead of 'Natural'?

...wever, that claiming 'Natural Language' support in R sets expectations of new users overly high. Thank you for spending so much time on such a minor nit.

...ile yet. (I suspect that the text in WRE is actually older than the current POSIX standard, which is what causes confusion as to what constitutes a Bourne shell. It may be worth editing it to say that we are in fact more restrictive than current POSIX.) -pd > On 18 Dec 2017, at 23:36 , Paul McQuesten <mcquesten at gmail.com> wrote: > > I do not have a dog in this fight, but I have to ask: > How much person time is worthwhile to invest in supporting Solaris 10? > > It has been closed-source (Post-Oracle) > <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system)#...

I do not have a dog in this fight, but I have to ask: How much person time is worthwhile to invest in supporting Solaris 10? It has been closed-source (Post-Oracle) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_(operating_system)#Post-Oracle_closed_source_(Solaris_10_after_March_2010,_and_Solaris_11_(2011_and_later))> since March 2010.
