Hi, when designing libraries for R, is it possible to call C/Fortran subroutines from other dynamically loaded code? The following example crashes R: ********* fn1.c ***************** void twice(int *i) { *i = 2 * *i; } ********************************* ********* fn2.c ***************** extern int twice(int *i); void negtwice(int *i) { *i = -1 * twice(i); }

There is a problem with the patch I sent out yesterday. The patches for the glm code are applied in the wrong place. I have removed the patch file and will have a real one available latter today.

NA's in a data frame are not handled properly, if the data frame was read in using read.table (but I'm not sure if that is the reason of the problems): (I'm using Debian Linux 1.3) If I read the file *************** 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 ? 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 *************** into R using read.table I run into troubles: R : Copyright 1997, Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka Version 0.49 Beta

Dear R-users, Is anyone successfully using leaps() and particularly subsets() (contributed function) in R? When I attempt to run them with modest matrices, R promptly faults and dumps the core. Also, how does one use subsets.formula() within subsets()? R : Copyright 1997, Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka Version 0.50 Alpha-4 (September 10, 1997) R-base-0.50.a4-1.i386.rpm

Paul Murrell and I are making some progress with making mathematical expressions available in graphs. The idea is to use R expressions to represent the mathematical expressions. So far we have (or will soon have): R LaTeX x^i x^i x[i] x_i alpha \alpha Alpha \Alpha hat(x) \hat{x} \widehat{x} bar(x) \bar{x} \overline{x} x+y x+y x-y x-y x/y x/y (x) (x) {x} {x} frac(x,y)

The have been a few prods to create an S-like matrix class for R. A major reason for having a matrix class seems to be that people get bitten by the default behavior of the drop= parameter to "[". That being the case does it make sense to change the semantics of "[" rather than introducing a new class? I'm just wondering because I'm in a "smaller is better"

1. lbeta and beta do not work properly: lbeta returns its first argument and beta gives the lbeta result. In names.c lines 245-6, the codes for these should be 2 and 3 instead of 1 and 2 2. crtl-C does not work (except the first time) on Red Hat elf Linux (which has many many other problems as well) nor on the previous version of Linux for Amiga. It worked on Slackware aout Linux and now works

I think I am misunderstanding something about the identify() function. if we have an example such as this: > x_1:10 > y_1:10 > plot(x,y) > identify(x,y, n=1) [1] 2 3 > I clicked on two points and identify() returned both of them (2 and 3). The manual says n is the maximum number of points to be identified. If I specify n=1, should identify() return a single value?

This is a bug both in R and S-plus (in R it's "worse"), I think.

Martin Your revisions to my S--R compatability code suggest that tempfile() is in R after 0.49. I don't find that to be the case.
