R-0.64.0 for Win9X/WinNT

----------

Thank you very much Guido and Brian!

On my machine (with MikTeX installed), I use as helpPRINT.bat (building on
the proposed example):

@echo off
pdflatex \nonstopmode\input{%1}
start %1.pdf
rm %1.tex %1.aux %1.log
exit

to get help pages in Acrobat Reader and it works fine, but only after I put
the Rd.sty latex package (from CRAN) in the rw0640\bin directory and, in
the same directory, a Rhelp.cfg file with the command \usepackage{Rd}.

Is this the right thing to do?

It should include Rd.sty automatically. The problem is that the file

RHOME/doc/manual/Rd.sty

is missing from the binary distribution. If you put it there this should 
work without any files in the bin directory.

Apologies: of course I have never checked the final distribution, and this
works on a source build.  I wondered if anyone would ever use this,
so am actually pleased to find a bug report!

BTW, using PDF format for help files is one of the ideas under debate.
Another is to provide Windows-style help files.
