Nope.  I tried -- too.  I tried many other variations too.  Any suggestions?

Brian Ripley was probably confused by the obvious typo you had in your first request. R CMD build --binary is defunct nowadays, please use, as suggested for many many years:

R CMD INSTALL --build

in order to produce Windows binaries.

I don't understand your comment about "you explicitly asked not to
send HTML, as you always were..."  Is this in regards to using gmail??

Hi.  I need a bit of help.  I'm running Windows 7 and "out of the box"
versions of Rtools and R (version 2.14.2) and am trying to compile a
package that worked before. When I run the command:

Rcmd build -binary mypackage
Warning: unknown option '-binary'


i get a warning and it creates the tar.gz file but not the zip file like
before.  Something has changed with the more recent versions of R.  Any
suggestions on how to make the .zip file?


Nothing has changed.  It is --binary (two hyphens) as it always was (and you 
explicitly asked not to send HTML, as you always were).
