The bug list summary reported an error in syskern which I finally realized is due to a badly chosen example in the help rather an error in the code. However, I have taken the opportunity to re-evaluate what I have been trying to do with syskern, since some parts may no longer be important. Since syskern was intended to address certain problems in...

syskern (`Functions for writing code that is OS and R/S independent', an amazing description given the reality) fails Rcmd check on Windows, and also gives incorrect information where it does work. There are already correct OS-independent functions for these purposes in R. It appears not to be needed...

Hi Does anyone know of any R routines to send emails from R, under Windows? I thought about writing such a facility using the R(D)COM package to drive e.g. MS Outlook, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I have found a function Sys.mail in the library syskern, but this only works under Unix by shelling out a mail command. Thanks, David

A slightly revised version of my DSE package for multi-variate time series analysis is now available at <www.bank-banque-canada.ca/pgilbert>. This version works with R 0.90.1 (and not with R 90.0 or earlier versions). It can also be installed with install.packages(c("syskern", "tframe", "dse"), contriburl="http://www.bank-banque-canada.ca/pgilbert/dse/R") A draft version of the new users guide is also available at the web site. Comments would be appreciated. I will put a version of the libraries on CRAN in the new year. Paul Gilber...

Hi, As a project for a computer performance analysis paper I am taking this semester, I am going to look at the performance of the memory manager in R, with the aim of determining how fast it is and which areas most need improvement. The idea is that I will compare various versions of R, starting with 0.64.2, and then at a few stages in the implementation of the new memory management scheme (of

I've just been reviewing some functions in my syskern library. This library was set up originally to provide me with a way to program around small R/S differences and to encapsulate some operating system requests in one place, so that these problems would not be spread throughout my code. Over the years the need for many of the programs in this libr...

It would be nice to be able to initialize the random-number generator with a single long argument; I can see that in principle this could be done by writing an access method, do_RNGinit (or whatever) for RNG_Init. I had trouble with the technical details, possibly because of long/int incompatibilities. Any chance of this happening? -- Ben Bolker

I'm having some trouble figuring out latest.start in the tframe package. The results seem a bit cloudy. Sample session: > library(ts) > library(tframe) Loading required package: syskern > t1<-ts(c(1,2,3,4,5),start=1) > t2<-ts(c(1,2,3,4,5),start=2) > earliest.start(tbind(t1,t2)) [1] 1 1 > earliest.start(tbind(t2,t1)) [1] 1 1 > latest.start(tbind(t2,t1)) [1] 1 1 > latest.start(tbind(t2,t1)) [1] 1 1 Same results if the series are tframed. Any ideas, comme...

I am trying to straighten up my DSE package to use require() as that seems to be a good mechanism. I have several packages: dse requires tframe which requires syskern which masks a few methods in base ( RNGkind rnorm runif). If I do require(dse) I get 3 copies of a six line warning (lots of white space) about syskern methods masking base methods. If I use library(dse) I only get 2. (I've simplified the situation somewhat, I really have five or six levels...

One of the functions I would like to clean out of my syskern package is a program to send mail. This is a common feature other programs (e.g. bug.report) may use so I would like it to be included in R/base. I will volunteer to do this as it looks like a fairly straightforward dissection of bug.report but I have some questions: Has anyone done this already?...

In Windows, I tried to build and check Paul Gilbert's dse bundle with the command rcmd check ../library/dse It ran for a while and built the packages, then failed at the end with this: ** checking Rd files ... OK ** checking for undocumented objects ... OK ** creating syskern-Ex.R ... ERROR I get similar errors checking packages, but there make pkgcheck-foo works. I don't think there's a "bundlecheck-foo" target, is there? Any workarounds, or hints where I should look to figure out what went wrong? Duncan Murdoch -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-...

I''m doing some simulations for which i need to use both S-plus and R. I generate in S+ some random normal distributions to define one dataset by iteration. I need to use the same dataset generated in S-plus in R. I was first thinking to generate in R the same dataset by using the same random number generator with a fixed seed. But It seems that S-plus and R don''t use the same
