Sort produces different results when sorting strings with non-alphanumeric
characters, depending on the operating system:
RHEL 5.2, R 2.10.0

As the help says
The sort order for character vectors will depend on the collating
sequence of the locale in use: see ‘Comparison’.
and that ref says
Collation of
non-letters (spaces, punctuation signs, hyphens, fractions and so
on) is even more problematic.
That diffe

Note that R can be compiled to use ICU, which provides a well-considered

available -- so I would say that

I wrote the Rcpp library and the RcppTemplate package to make it
easier for developers to contribute packages to the R community.
In addition to providing detailed documentation on
package creation it provides a clean object mapping between

The patch-B.txt from my previous email passed "make check-all" with the
exception of the Tcl/Tk support, which is missing on my computer.
I am not sure what clause of the GPL you have in mind when you say that "it
explicitly states that these changes should not leave misleading impressions
about the original developer."
Are you perhaps thinking of the passage in Section 7 which says:

Yes, the point is that this is not a legal or technical matter, it is a
matter of professional courtesy.
I take this as one vote for the name change.

This is fantastically off-topic, and has nothing to do with *R*.
Out of "courtesy" to this list, the subscribers, and future readers,
please take this off-list where it belongs.

I don't think this is off-topic, in the sense that it is the contribution of
the developers of the multitude of packages available that has led to the
success of R. How packages are maintained, forked, etc., is an important
issue. I should say that I am not a developer, only a user appreciative of
