After the discussions about appropriate editors under Windows to use with R, I have managed to install Emacs, XEmacs, and ESS under WinNT 4.0, and these work fine. It's not necessary to compile anything to use R with ESS, just to install Emacs and ESS, and do a few modifications in some files. XEmacs is also easy to install but apparently ESS cannot run with it (confirmed by a message by Tony

Hi, R-users. I tried to install the 'RODBC' package by input C:\R>RCMD install RODBC_0_8-2_tar.tar , but I got the message 'Error: cannot change to directory 'RODBC_0_8-2_tar.tar' ' and failed to install. The file 'tar32.dll' lies in the system directory. How can I install the package above mentioned? OS:Win95 R_HOME:c:\R\rw1020 >From Kobe,

SVN revision replaces "slave" with "no-echo" in R devel. In each of the following, "no-echo" is rather strange to me. - src/gnuwin32/README.Rterm 3) As a no-echo process for ESS mode in NTEmacs with flag --ess. - src/library/grDevices/src/qdCocoa.m /* the no-echo thread work until this is NO */

I've been having problems with Rterm.exe not shutting down when I exit an R (1.7.0 and 1.7.1) session from within emacs when using ESS. I've just upgraded to 5.1.24 and still have the same problems. I'm running ntemacs and winxp. I don't recall having these troubles with version 1.6.2 of R. Jeff. --- Jeff D. Hamann Hamann, Donald and Associates, Inc. PO Box 1421 Corvallis, Oregon

Hi r-hackers, What exactly is the difference in call r from a batch between this two ways: Rterm.exe ... Rcmd BATCH ... (I have to install perl first, I know) I haven't found any documentation about the difference (readme, FAQs, ...). I use rterm.exe, but is there a benefit in using rcmd? Can you explain me that or give me a link? Thanks Thomas Thomas Untern?hrer

The first of Suharno's examples can be viewed that way, because R under ESS is not a "slave" in the technical sense, just a situation where you do not want keyboard input to be echoed. "Non-echoing" might have been better language though. The 2nd example really is of the master/slave variety, and to my knowledge nothing to do with echoing, so looks like a

Hello, I got R 1.6.0 for windows and I need Rcmd, which was not included. Where can I get it? (I have to start R and give the name of the file with the R-commands on the command line, so that R is invoked together with its command-file "todo.R". Do I really need Rcmd for that? To write "Rterm todo.R" did not work.) Richard -- Richard M?ller - Am Spring 9 - D-58802

Hello R-users: I'm experiencing difficulty in building a package in R 1.4.1 under Windows 2000. When I run Rcmd I get this: F:\r\library>f:\r\bin\rcmd check ringsim Please set TMPDIR to a valid temporary directory F:\r\library>f:\r\bin\rcmd build ringsim Please set TMPDIR to a valid temporary directory This problem was discussed over a year ago - the problem was attributed to a Perl

Hi R-hackers I try to write a batch (in Windows, i have to use!) with Rcmd BATCH D:\Test.R D:\Test.Rout and Rterm.exe --no-restore --no-save < D:\Test.R > D:\Test.Rout. In my file Test.R are any tk-codelines (like: Window1 <- tktoplevel(); ... tkbutton...). It works not interactifly, what is written in Rcmd BATCH --help. Exist there a way to do it all the same? Please help...

I want to run Rcmd BATCH with R_DEFAULT_PACKAGE=base so it doesn't load any packages, but it seems to reject this argument because it does not start with a '-' or '--'. Is there a different argument that will work? Thanks.

Hello, I am a new R user, using version 1.5.1. I am attempting to run R programs from a dos command line (in win2000) and am having problems. My goal is to be able to use R from batch scripts in both windows and also in Linux eventually later. When I first ran "rcmd BATCH --help" it said that perl was not found. after installing perl and running again, I received the following error:

Hi, I was trying to use the batch mode "rcmd" under Windows NT. The online help says the right command should be "Rcmd BATCH [options] infile [outfile]". But when I type "rcmd BATCH aaa.r" I got message of "The name specified is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." What is wrong? I know this is a quite

I'm running Windows NT4. Rcmd does not seen to read the command line. Rterm and other things work well. For example "Rcmd check --help" fails with the command interpreter trying to find a program or file called "check." What have I missed? -- Bob Wheeler --- (Reply to: bwheeler at echip.com) ECHIP, Inc.
