Hello!

I was just wondering, why only one of my "Rd" files is converted in 
"chm" format (REGE) and the other are not when installing a package? The 
output from installing a package on WinXp is below.

I tried to find more information about what "chm" format actually is, 
however have found none.

Best regards and thaks for any replies,
Ales Ziberna

I guess your are installing from a source directory from which you 
already have installed some time ago. The chm files correpsonding to 
*unchanged* Rd files are not re-generated. So In guess only REGE.Rd has 
changed in the meantime.

            

      
      
      
    

        
Microsoft's compiled html format can be accessed by, e.g.
options(chmhelp=TRUE)
?plot

Thank you for this clarification. You are off course right, this was the 
only "Rd" file that was changed.

Best regards,
