Dear help I have been attenpting to compile R0.49 on both of these unix machines and have had no compilation errors but core dumps at run time.

Hi Z I think supporting HCL color spaces more, is a *very* good idea. However, I doubt many R users, understand the motivation for HCL color spaces. I've reproduced Ross Ihaka's notes on color, on my personal website: https://sites.google.com/site/spurdlea/exts/ihaka_r_stats_787_10_color.pdf (This has been reproduced with permission).

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.

Hello all, There is currently a (very !) lively discussions happening around the web, surrounding the following topics: 1) Is R efficient? (scripting wise, and performance wise) 2) Should R be written from scratch? 3) What should be the license of R (if it was made a new)? Very serious people have taken part in the debates so far. I hope to let you know of the places I came by, so you might be

Hi Ross - I believe I was wrong in thinking that passing via the ... list to stripchart() was ever allowed. Here are patches: Add ... to the argument list Add, at the beginning of the function: pars <- list(...) There are two calls to axis(). Modify these to: axis(1, at = at, labels = names(groups), las=pars$las) axis(2, at = at, labels = names(groups), las=pars$las) Also
