2.9.0 RC minor issues

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 ?

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).

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.

Best wishes,

Bill
