Hi Everyone: I've been going through Alan Lenarcic's package tutorial but
   when I did
   R CMD SHLIB Xdemo.cc Xdemo_main.cc -o Xdemo.dll
   I got the following error:
   XDemo_res.rc:15:38: warning: missing terminating " character

   XDemo_res.rc:23:34: warning: missing terminating ' character

   c:\mark\research\Rtools\MinGW\bin\windres.exe: XDemo_res.rc:16: syntax error

   make: *** [XDemo_res.o] Error 1
   The XDemo_res.rc file is below but I can't tell from that what the error
   might be ??
   His  tutorial?  was constructed in 2007 so maybe something has changed
   slightly which is causing the problem ? I realize that this
   is a pretty undetailed? description so? if anyone is interested in helping
   me, I can send the DESCRIPTION file and NAMESPACE file?
   or the link to his package tutorial etc. ? I'm using R 2.8.1 on windows. Oh,
   also , if anyone does respond, I won't be able to respond back till after
   11pm US ? Eastern Time. Thanks a lot.
