Just downloaded the newest R-patched.tar.bz. DEcompressing and untarring now produces a directory R-beta instead of the usual (for me, at least) R. The file VERSION now says 3.2.2 beta. Just wanted to double-check that there is no mixup of development and patched versions. Thanks, Peter
R-patched is now R-beta?

And for those on Windows, I do nightly builds of the beta and RC versions. Please test these, and report any bugs asap. Duncan Murdoch
