It seems as though 'symbol.For' does not work correctly.

Error in .Fortran(symbol.For("add"), as.numeric(a), as.numeric(b), c =
as.numeric(0)) :
"Fortran" function name not in load table
The function 'add' is a R wrapper to a simple fortran 77 subroutine that adds
two numbers.
In 'add' the .Fortran call looks like this:
.Fortran("add",...)
In 'sym.add' the .Fortran call looks like this:
.Fortran(symbol.For("add"),...)
symbol.For works correctly if there is an underscore in the name though.
I have tested this on OSX and linux and get the same results.
I have a test package written up if anyone wants it. Email me
