What's the current best approach to dealing with the nlminb problem? Are there other similar constrained optimizers, or is current wisdom just to code it in C (or similar...)? best, -tony -- A.J.

anoncvs for R should work again. If you use it, please try it. If you use it and don't particularly want it to go away (rsync gets you the source w/o the logs, but if you particularly want the logs and the ability to create diffs between revisions, like I sometimes want to do...), you might say something. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's probably not important.

(thanks to thomas for assistance; I'm posting this for archival reasons). Question: My silly dataset looks like "00223423", "00234234", ... and when I read it in, I get a factor which looks like and integer. How do I convert it back?

One thing that has driven me batty to no end is the fact that ESS doesn't handle R's "exit" well. Any thoughts as to the default? I'm thinking of something like: current: do what currently is done C-u Y C-c C-q : quit and save workspace C-u N C-c C-q : quit and don't save workspace. Comments? best, -tony -- A.J. Rossini Rsrch.

Is there a simple way to determine at run-time the directory with HTML version of help pages? (to see where I'm heading here, if you've got w3 installed under (X)Emacs on Unix _or_ a Microsoft OS, do w3-find-file and load $(R_HOME)/library/html/whateverfunction.html It's slightly nicer than the standard ESS text-help. best, -tony -- A.J.

Suppose one wanted to build an R wizard for packaging...

So, lots of comments about PICT. If you have to go there (EPS to PICT, but vectorized PICT for an investigator to use), does anyone have suggestions? I've found EPStoPICT (www.artage.com), any other thoughts? (these are real Mac people, so while I could go the WMF route, it's about as palatable as EPS). best, -tony -- A.J. Rossini Rsrch. Asst.

Not having a Mac in front of me, but having a consultee with one, I pose the following question: Is there an easy way to transfer a Mac excel data set (columns, etc) into R (only on a Mac)? Verified existence of such a thing would be great; I've been uncertain as to the best way to get data in/out of R (on the mac, of course). An actual algorithm/procedure would be met with great rejoicing.

There's a bit of a symmetry issue, which may or may not be important (led to 15 seconds of confusion until I got my bearings straight): row.names, rownames; colnames, no col.names? I _NOW_ realize the difference between row.names and rownames, but is there any reason not to have col.names for re-naming columns in a data.frame? (if there is, I don't particular need to know it, but it

Duncan - (but sent to R-devel, for any other thoughts?) How do you envision RSPerl being used? Without having seen the details, I can think of playing with strings; is there a preferred incantation for stringification of R objects (serialization)?

Hello, I checked mail list archives and this topic came up before in March '99 (about ability of R to multithread). At that time rossini at biostat.washington.edu (Tom Rossini) suggested to check his web page in a few month as it was on his list to-do. I checked but the web page is not valid. I wanted to know if in general progress has been made in the area, or if it is planned. I was also

You can use ESS and either XEmacs 21.0 (currently wrapping up beta) or NTEmacs, or Emacs(FSF) to edit files. IF the mingwin(?) or cygwin versions of R allow for command-line prompts rather than
