Changelogs are at http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/twiki/bin/view/Main/ChangelogHmisc and http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/twiki/bin/view/Main/ChangelogDesign . These versions pass R CMD check for the latest R-devel so I expect they

I think SAS Macros has capability to call R, and execute it without it being in the picture anywhere. So you can use SAS Macros in a file called R.sas In this you can create a macro called %Describe that can call R , load Hmisc ,run the describe function Note you will need repeated use of %put in this %describe for the mapping to take place Use %INCLUDE to include that file in all SAS

Dear Group: After struggling with escape sequences using the LaTeX listings package (used by the R SweaveListingUtils package), I have come to the conclusing that listings' interaction with the LaTeX fancyvrb package prevents escapes such as plot(x) # See Figure \ref{my.plot} The only way I could solve the problem in general is to use a Perl script to pretty-print the R code, and to

Dear Group, I have made significant improvements to our Sweave template, have made the template self-contained (i.e., you can run it yourself and it will find the datasets it needs), and have included the output pdf file. This is at http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/SweaveTemplate . You will see in the pdf file the enhancements in how R code is pretty-printed, and I have added an example
