similar to: cor(x,y) when is.null(y) (PR#883)

viz. > (function(x,y=a) substitute(x$y))(x) x$a > (function(x,y=a) substitute(x$y))(list(y=1:3)) list(y = 1:3)$a > (function(x,y) eval(substitute(substitute(y))))(x=list(y=1:3),y=x$y) list(y = 1:3)$x$y The behavior I expect and want is like that in Splus 3.4: > (function(x,y=a) substitute(x$y))(x) x$y > (function(x,y=a) substitute(x$y))(list(y=1:3)) list(y = 1:3)$y >

> split(c(a=1,b=2),c(1,2)) $"1" [1] 1 $"2" [1] 2 The documentation does not *promise* that names will survive, but in Splus3.4, they do. This broke a function that worked under S+ that used the names attribute of elements in the components returned by split.

Dear R-help, I tried to build the R-release version of R-1.0.0. ./configure and make seemed to go just fine. When I ran 'make check' from $RHOME, it dumped core apparently in the quit('no') on the last line of base-Ex.R I had been having some problems with a package I am building in that R would report with "Process R segmentation violation (core dumped)" upon

Package bqtl version 1.0 is now available on CRAN. Description: QTL mapping toolkit for inbred crosses and recombinant inbred lines. Includes maximum likelihood and Bayesian tools. I am keen to have comments about this package including implementation details, additional functionality, and (of course) problems and bugs. Chuck Berry -- Charles C. Berry (858) 534-2098

The Blue Book allows the 'type' argument to be used in matpoints and matlines. matlines(x, y, type="l", lty=1:5, pch=, col=1:4) R-1.0.0 does not. Thus, type="h", "b", must be invoked thru matplot( x, y, type = "h", add=TRUE) For the sake of consistency with S, it would be nice to have matlines defined as: "matlines" <-

Not sure this is a bug in R. Maybe its a bug in my understanding of unz(). The character 'b2' (hexadecimal) is in position 535 of line 1 of 'naughty.csv'. This character appears as superscript '2' and came to me in an EXCEL file that I converted to text in a comma separated ( *.csv ) format. The first line gets truncated by readLines after 534 characters using unz():

Dear R-help, I am trying to build R-1.5.1 on a Sun Blade 100 (sparc). It fails make check when var(1) returns NaN instead of NA.

The trailing backslash seems to be the culprit. After looking at rw1020\bin\INSTALL, I noticed $pkg =~ s/\/$//; which I assume is to strip the trailing slash from a package name before obtaining the package name and cleaning out its directory I added $pkg =~ s/\\$//; immediately after this line. Rerunning Rcmd INSTALL C:\rw1011\src\library\bqtl\ with that change seemed to work OK
