Subject: bad interaction between RandomFields 1.1.11 and Sweave
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0405111604570.26648-100000@bolker.zoo.ufl.edu>
Dear Ben,
I do not know how to solve the general problem that backspaces
cause within Sweave, but which are needed to implement running
counters.
To avoid the specific problems for RandomFields, a new version
of RandomFields is uploaded with default "pch="*" instead of
pch="!".
Cheers,
Martin
