[Rd] pdf viewers Re: Evaluating R expressions
Rather off topic, while acrobat reader is Adobe and authoritative, there are a lot of other 3rd-party pdf viewers around. xpdf (http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html) provides text search functionally and mostly just a single binary so it shouldn't require sysadmin installation or assistance to use. Should make your life a bit easier when you are searching for something in big thick manuals.

[Rd] write.dta (foreign package)
Hi,
I'd like to request that the 'write.dta' command also save the
"var.labels" attributes of the data frame.
'read.dta' can read them, but 'write.dta' doesn't write them back.
Thanks
Edward McNeil

Perhaps you could provide a patch? Very few of us have Stata which would be needed to check this out. Note that a general data frame will not have a "var.labels" attribute, so you need careful validity checking. > Thanks > Edward McNeil > > -- Brian D.
