2.9.0 RC minor issues

Thanks, Bill.

a few comments inline.

Dear Simon and other R.Mac gurus.

I have been testing R version 2.9.0 RC (2009-04-10 r48318)
i386-apple-darwin8.11.1

locale:
en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8

and
R version 2.10.0 Under development (unstable) (2009-04-10 r48318)
i386-apple-darwin8.11.1

using the R.app that comes with each installation.

They both work very well,  and can even use Rgraphviz if that is  
installed from source, but there are two very small issues

1) The about R window  in both versions says
R 2.8.1 GUI 1.27 Tiger build 32-bit (5391) and
R.app GUI 1.27 (5391 Tiger build 32-bit), S.Urbanek & S.M.Iacus, ? R  
Foundation for Statistical Computing, 2008

Do you want to make that say 2.9.0 ?

Thanks, I usually change the name to include the R version for the  
release. The devel versions usually don't have an R version number  
(because it' hard-coded), but apparently I didn't remove it. The  
release will definitely have 2.9.0.
2) The install local source package in the R package installer  
continues to have that weird typo  (Install,A umlaut Parenthesis  
mark) that has been around for a while (and justifiably ignored, for  
it is a trivial problem).

This is some encoding issue on the build machine. When I build it  
manually, it's ok, so Im still not sure how to fix it .. (except to  
build the GUIs manually). I'll have a look...
Thanks for the wonderful interface.  I was teaching a short course  
on R for psychologists last week and felt sorry for those who were  
using the PC interface.

Thanks =)
Simon
