Yes. pty is another, for example. > I think that in fact "mfg" is only meant to be queried. No. One use for setting mfg is to produce a page of plots in portrait orientation with, say, two small plots on the top half of the page

In the source code perhaps? :-) You can find a pretty precise description in the article Robert and I did in JCGS. Actually its pretty simple. Functions have access to the variables which were in effect when the function was defined. f <-

Chris, I can provide some personal experience, in that RedHat Linux has not only operated well, and is remarkably easy to set up, but seems to work as well as any Linux distribution with R. The default X-Windows setup looks pretty similar to MS Windows, which may make the transition easier. In fact, it was the on/off - finally off attitude of MathSoft toward producing a Linux version of S-Plus

I thought R users might be interested (surprised) to hear that R will have some competition on Linux now.

> If I were Mathsoft I would be less than pleased > at the development of R and would try to stop it if I could. I would not assume that Mathsoft must have such a negative view towards R. The reasons are roughly summarized by the analogy that a smaller part of a big pie is often better than a bigger part of a small pie. Mathsoft's limited success in addressing the student market has

list.files() (and dir()) don't appear to return names of directories when one uses the recursive=T argument. E.g., > dir(file.path(R.home(),"library"), pattern="^R$", recursive=T) [1] "Malmig/help/R" but the unix find commmand finds lots of R directories > z <- system(paste("find", file.path(R.home(),"library"), "-name

I'm upgrading my primary server from RH 7.2 to CentOS-4.3.ServerCD. I REALLY like the ServerCD. Who needs all the fluff that comes with a standard distro? If I want a system-config-gooey I can run Xnest [1] and ssh -X from my laptop. Anyway I have two questions: 1) How can I collectively stop all the NFS, portmap, whatever? I'm hoping it can be manipulated as a group because occationally

Hello all, I thought I'd ask you guys about this one since I've had no luck from vmware forums/kb or google ... I have a centos 4.3 x86-64 (athlon64 with cool-n quiet enabled) with vmware server 1.0 installed and working beautifully with the annoying exception of my guest machines clocks (centos, ubuntu etc) run very fast. I've read the vmware white paper on guest clocks, tried

Look at the result of (in S-plus:) validate(verbose=TRUE, outfile="......./validate-3.4.out") which gives (for me, S-plus 3.4 on Solaris 2.5) 2106 Lines of output. It's full of tests using "standard data sets". (--> 'demos' available!) Basically, at the end of each example, there are statements which should return TRUE if the 'validation test' is
