DSE status

[Paul Gilbert]

I have my DSE library working fairly well now with 0.62.1. It required a few
changes because of the changes to R INSTALL and  "xxx<-" functions. I would like
to tar up a new version soon but

1/ for testing I have been using a kludge in .First.lib to select the first
element of section - since I happen to know that is the element I need given the
way I have  $RLIBS set. This argument to .First.lib should indicate only the
section from which the library comes, so
   paste(library, "/", section, sep="")
gives me the location. Is a fix to this forthcoming or should I work on a better
kludge?

2/ I like the fancy help facility but I am not likely to get around to
converting from my html anytime soon. In the meantime I will make a simple .Rd
file with a general description and hopefully I can get the html version to
point to the link to my full html help. However, I am unclear on the mechanism
for getting the link to a package included into R/doc/html/packages.html with R
INSTALL. Can someone explain how I do this?

3/ I get a lot of
       Warning in par(args) : parameter "cin" can't be set
       Warning in par(args) : parameter "cra" can't be set
        ...
  even using on.exit(old.pars). These are annoying but not serious.
