Ahh..  gazumped!

I ran out of energy last night to post a general announcement.

I haven't had time recently to look at MailMan again, but don't think
anything will have changed - its still on my to-do list (which isn't
getting shorter :-().  I'd be all ears if you or someone else gets it
going though.

Subject:   eComStation 1.1

Anybody have any clue when this will finally be ready?  Been waiting some
time and the news is pretty sketchy.  All I've been able to find is some
screen shots of the new installer.  If not soon, I'm just going to stick to
Warp as I now have an inside source for all the latest patches, FP16 and so
on, and drivers.

This has been discussed on news.ecomstation.nl lately. Use your news
reader and go there to get the scoop.

Sorry, the link in my original post is dead. It is
 The R Project for Statistical Computing

and source is available from  http://cran.R-project.org

The latest version is  http://cran.R-project.org/src/base/R-1.6.0.tgz
(8.2Mb)

but the version we have at UEA is 1.5.1
http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-1.5.1.tgz  (5.2Mb)
which expands to about 25Mb.
At the moment I'm so short of HD space that even quite straightforward
builds fail. I'm currently looking around for an additional SCSI hard
disk, meanwhile if I can free up enough space I will attempt to build
R-1.5.1.

I'm a bit surprised to find no record of R (or its predecessor S-plus)
ever being ported to OS/2.

Pete

My understanding is that eCS 1.1 will be released at Warpstock Europe,
i.e. November 8th. NLVs will follow some weeks later.
