I'm looking for a Windows distribution of TeX that works with R, after a few years' absence from Windows. On Duncan Murdoch's Rtools page fptex is still recommended, but it turns out that fptex is "defunct" as of May 2005, see http://www.metz.supelec.fr/~popineau/xemtex-7.html So, what is suggested?

Dear WizaRds, I wrote a small function in R and would like to create a package. The necessary documentation is done, Rtools etc. are installed and I am still unable to complete the process under Windows.

Hi, All: How do I get information about the "R CMD check / build / install" process, especially regarding what software to install and how to configure it under Windows XP?

Hi, I am new to Latex and in the process of installing miktex to work with R on windows XP professional. From earlier posts, I see that fptex was the preferred version, but it is no longer available. Now miktex is preferred. However, there are known issues with finding the style files in version 2.4. Fortunately, www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/mikitex.html provides a series of workarounds.
