I'm experiencing a new and annoying phenomenon which seems to consist of an unfortunate interaction between R-1.7.0 and netscape version 7. When I invoke help.start(), a netscape window duly appears with the browser pointed at the file .../R/doc/html/index.html as one would hope and expect. However if I then ask for help on a function, e.g. > help(glm) the help does NOT get displayed

There was a posting on Netscape Profiles mapped to network drives that I was hoping someone could help me with. Other than setting the key for password encryption, I've never messed with the NT registry keys.

Thanks to Martin Maechler, Douglas Bates, Peter Dalgaard, and Hedderik van Rijn for pointing out the problem is with the color resource demands of the two applications and for their suggested possible solutions. A 24 bit monitor would be ideal and maybe someday I'll have the $$$ to upgrade. "netscape -install" works with the attendant flashing screen color changes from window to

Is it possible to install and run Netscape whitout having access to a native windows. -- Best regard, Svend Bjerrum Jensen http://www.sbj.esenet.dk

Hi guys, we're running a samba server on a sles 9 with sp2. The server hosts the netscape mailbox files for our users in our terminal server environment. There were never problems with these files. After upgrading from samba 3.0.21 to 3.2.6 (sernet-built) the mailbox files of nearly all users got corrupt while working with netscape. We got the following symptoms. The users seem to receive

Hi, I just tried to compile the new release today and encountered some problems: --8<------------------------schnipp------------------------->8--- patrick@trurl:~/src/r-project/R-2.0.0> ./configure > pd.configure.output patrick@trurl:~/src/r-project/R-2.0.0> make > pd.make.output /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/3.3/../../../../i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: tcltk.so: undefined

Using netscape 4.03 (or 2.x or 3.x)/ R-0.62.1 with SPARC Solaris 2.4: when netscape is running for help, graphics in R quit with "Color allocation error". Closing netscape removes the problem. netscape does not interfere with other X11 imaging programs including ghostscript and ImageMagick except that it increases the contrast in my mailer windows slightly.

I presume by now that most everyone has heard that, starting later this quarter with Netscape 5.0's developers' release, the Netscape browser program and its source code will become freely redistributable. They didn't say it would be GPL'd (GNU Public License) but they said their source code would be available in the spirit of the GPL. Initially it bothered me that the

I've installed Netscape 6.2.2 on Mdk82, but have not had much luck with help.start() (R-1.5.0 compiled from source). When I do help.start(), it just starts up netscape with the default home page, rather than the R help page. Doing ?<anything> at the R prompt starts up yet another netscape instance, but still no R help. Anyone knows why, or even better, how to solve this? Regards,

Trying to follow the sample To best of my knowledge, this R feature dates from a time when Netscape was essentially the only browser out there. It also had a most useful feature: you could attach new request (resulting in a new "frame" in X11 / window manager
