I recently built R-devel on Windows XP (sessionInfo below), and when loading
libraries that require the iconv.dll was getting an error stating that 'This

Hi,
Could someone point me to the relevant documentation that covers what should be

I just built R-devel from source on OS X (Tiger), using the subversion

Hi,
I have a package that contains two vignettes that both use saved objects

statement:
winMenuAdd() now has no limits on the number of menus or items, and

If one wants to unload compiled code for a package containing a namespace, my
understanding is that .onUnload() should be used, with a call to

but it appears to me that the compiled code is not being unloaded when the
