It's nice to see code instead of discussion :-) I had a quick look and for what it's worth, a few comments... * Seems a bit more code than I would expect. I think you have some use cases that I don't have ;-). In terms of general use, I would suggest making a stab at a simplified version. For example, what's the difference between startupMessage and startupVersionMessage; are both needed? And linestarter? * Consider adding a customizable restart. As it stands, startupmsg doesn't give a user more control than message(). That is, you can either muffle the messages or not. If I want to write them to a file or prefix them with funny characters, doing so by grabbing hold of the message before it is emitted via the restart seems like a nice approach (although one could argue for a more general system logging system that probably would not need the fancy condition system use). Thanks for sharing your code. Cheers, + seth ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
