R 1.1.0 going into feature freeze

For anyone wanting to try the release-candidate Windows version,
it is up at

	http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/RWin/Rpre

Warning: this is cross-compiled and so lacks a few things including
CHM / Windows help and the bitmap DLL.  The release version will be
natively compiled.

In particular, we would be grateful if anyone can try it on a Pentium
I/II/III on Win2000:  we know there are problems on Athlon cpus on
Win2000.

That I believe to be an incorrect report, and I also do not see the
connection with the subject.  (Bug reports on R 1.0.1 should go to 
R-bugs, still.)

The file *is* there on the version of rw1001 I downloaded and in the
pre-test of rw1010 I put up. chisq.test is in package ctest, and you have
to have loaded that to get the help, or specify it explicitly in the call
to help.

I suspect the confusion arises because someone decided to make chisq.test
an autoload, and so the function appears to be available from base when it
is not really:
Error in help(chisq.test) : No documentation for `chisq.test'
chisq.test               package:ctest               R Documentation
 ...

If this is not what happens on your version of rw1001, please try
re-installing.

Just to add: if you use help.start() or HTML help from the file menu
the file *is* in the index list and *is* found by the search engine,
as both those routes cover all packages installed in rw1001/library.
