tools::startDynamicHelp(): Randomly prevents R from exiting (on MS Windows)
Thank you for confirming this. I just filed PR#18650
(https://bugs.r-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18650).
FWIW, I've found two other issues with startDynamicHelp() prior to this:

starting html help for a package?
Dear all
Shouldn't this start the html help for the chosen package?

Instead, the text version is displayed in less (I believe). However, I
have no issues to start the html help with the following.

Use of tools:::httpdPort in a package for CRAN.
Hello,
I wrote a function to show the help/index page of a package in a
browser (and want to include this in an update for a CRAN package). I
asked in R-help how to obtain the 00Index.html file, Duncan Murdoch
suggested to inspect (see
http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Obtain-00Index-html-tt4697661.html)

JGR GUI for R-2.10.0 "Help" "Print"
I have updated R 2.9.1 to 2.10.0. and JGR GUI 1.7. I am running Windows XP.
I can't seem to get the JGR "Print" or "Help" functions to work. The system
locks and requires me to "stop the process".
In the past I have preferred the opreation and "feel" of JGR GUI. I realize
that this help forum is for R; but, I am hoping that some other R-user is

Severe growing pains with new help system
(On Windows XP with R 2.10.0)
1. In the past, I have used a desktop search engine (X1) to pre-index all of
R's html help files. Obviously, this no longer works with dynamic help
pages. It also appears that the .Rd files are converted to a binary format
when installed and cannot be indexed by X1.
2. I like to use firefox to type 'xyplot' into the 'awesome bar' and go to

Exposing native httpd server
R has a native HTTP server that is used for serving R help pages
interactively, at least on the loopback device (127.0.0.1)
But all of the working are internal, not exposed to user and not documented.
This is quite shame since the server seems to be fully capable of
handling basic tasks,
be it serving static websites or even interactively processing queries.

NROW and NCOL on NULL
Dear list,
I do not know what would be the 'correct' answer to the following but
I think that they should return the same value to avoid potential
problems and hard to debug errors.

Exposing native httpd server
Ji??,
in a sense there are two quite different issue that you are touching upon. On one hand, your request for exposing the http server is something I was pretty much expecting. In order to judge the appetite for it I have included the support for custom handlers back then as inofficial API specifically so that if anyone cares we could work on refining it (really only Jeff and Hadley ever asked

Strange Behavior in RNG
Hi,
I just observed a strange behavior in R. The rnorm function does not
give me the numbers with a given length. I think it is somehow related
to the internal representation of double-type numbers but I am not
sure if this is supposed to happen. Below is a reproducible example

## Create a list, we will only take the forth value, which is 0.6
nList <- seq(0,1,0.2)
n <- nList[4]

Exposing native httpd server
Dear Simon and Jeroen,
thank you for your answers. I have to reiterate that I am out of my
depth in here. My knowledge of http is clicking links and not much
beyond that.
I will definitely look into `webutils` and `Rserve`.
One of the reason why I brought this issue is that I have a static site
generator that uses the pkg `servr` to serve the static site locally,
before I push it to github

There's no need to involve atan() and tan() in this:

[1] NaN+Infi
Why do you think this is a bug?

Exposing native httpd server
I absolutely appreciate the desire for minimalism. On the other hand
Rserve has no dependencies other than R >= 1.5.0 (!!!), so you would in
any case be cutting your dependencies way down (`servr` has 16 recursive
dependencies of which 5 seem to be base/recommended, presumably this is
where your count of 12 came from; `Rserve` has none).

Upgrading to MSVC 2015
I can tell you that at least on the LLDB side, it was significantly
stifling our development efforts. The requirement that embedding Python
means you have to compile Python with the same compiler that you compile
the program you're embedding it in, and the fact that the only supported
toolchain for Python 2.7 is VC 2008, and the fact that Python 2.7 doesn't
even compile with VC 2015, we
