Whatever extensions are decided on for any of the R stuff it is important to realize that Windows (3.11) only lets you have one dot (.) and then only 3 characters. The base name should be only 8 characters long as well. Since I'm worrying about it a little these days I just want to put my 2 cents worth in on this topic. It is looking like a real pain to translate the current set of html files to this format which means that there is going to be some real work required in getting a 3.11 version going. On a related note I really have started on the RSept and have postscript functioning (once again big changes will be needed to get it to fly under 3.11 so it'll be a Win95 version first). Getting dll's going is the next trick I'm going to try. robert =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Is it possible that the HTML->RTF->WinHelp generation pointer I sent you would work faster? Point being that you could generate the RTF file on a machine with long filenames yielding a file with *internal" links, no restrictions on names, and in turn a .HLP file - which we want to have anyway.

That would be nice ... names in RApril.zip such as chisquare.test.html won't work in 3.11 anyway ... -k =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
