Dear developers, I have come across a (somewhat strange) change in the encoding of Sweave output from R-2.9.2pat to R-2.10.0beta (apparently specific to Rgui) on Windows installations. Of course, the NEWS file contains quite a few changes concerning encoding, but I was not able to locate an entry which explains the observed behaviour. I am not very familiar with encodings/locales/codepages,

Full_Name: David Lennartsson Version: 1.7.1, 1.8.0 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (62.119.45.80) A very minor bug, but here it comes. On doing something as simple as cat("1st test string\r2nd\n") the console in RGui on Windows do not perform a CR on '\r'. This is very annoying if you for example want to have a simple progress meter when running a batch job. It works

I'm using R on Windows XP Professional SP2. I figured out the fix for my buffer overflow problem that did not allow me to use Rgui.exe for about two weeks. I would keep getting "console not found" and even when I uninstalled and re-installed got the same problem. Here's how the problem started. In Rgui.exe, I attempted to get more visible output in the buffer (I wanted

Hi, all, Using RGui, is it possible to create a graphics window that can be moved outside of the RGui window? (This can be done--in fact must be done--using Rterm, but I wish to use RGui.) My interest for this is to use two monitors: in "my private monitor" I wish to execute R code in the Rgui window; in "the public monitor" I want the audience to see the results in the

Hello. I am trying to build R on Windows. It appears that my build passes the various "make checks" (unless I missed some error) and running Rterm seems to work fine whereas Rgui has an immediate error stating " AppName: rgui.exe AppVer: 2.150.58871.0 ModName: rzlib.dll ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0000a9e5 The taskbar still works, but the console window has nothing in it, and

This is sort of a strange bug. Not show stopping, but annoying. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this and reported it before I submit a bug report. I noticed while running the RGui and attempting to debug one of my scripts that I encountered a Windows error informing me that "Find String [grep] Utility has encountered a problem and needs to close." It is being

Hi, Main objective: Let Rgui find my ~/.Rprofile and ~/.Renviron files, where ~ is equal to getwd("~"). I have few comments/questions: (A) On my WinXP Pro installation, the system environment variable 'HOME' is not availble to R, e.g. Sys.getenv("HOME") is empty. I believe this is default case (correct me if I'm wrong). However, if I set the "Start

Hello Users: I'm using R version 2.0.1, and having problems with RODBC.

Hi, Using R1.9.1 for Windows with Windows 2000 (also XP), I have come across the following problem that I have not seen before and am at a loss to explain. If I create an object using rlm from library(MASS) and then save the workspace, I cannot reopen it using RGUI by double clicking on the .RData file as I normally do. If I double click on the icon, R starts and then gives the following

Hi I have written a graphical user interface using tcltk. Now I would like to run it under rterm.exe with a batch file.

After a few seconds rterm is closeing without doing anything more

After installing R 0.99.0a on a Windows 95 Rgui.exe crash after opening the console window. Rterm.exe works fine. Any hint? It is posible that R is not compatible with windows configuration modified by some other program? Where can I act?

Hi, Duncan: I just did "plot(1:2)" in Rgui.exe, and that copied fine as a metafile into MS Word via the clipboard. Then I exited and restarted Rterm.exe under ESS and tried it again.

[Environment: Win XP, R 2.10.1] In my Rprofile I have startup code to do various things, intended for when I use the Rgui console.
