Where is the strptime bug happening? I am seeing it on W95 W98 W2000
running Rterm under ntemacs 21.1 with ESS 5.1.19 and using cygwin
2001/08/31 15:52:16 Starting cygwin install, version 2.78.2.3
Is strptime using the bash from my system? or is it using functions
that are included with R?
R defaulted to 1900 when I didn't specify a year. The 1990 came from
the help(beav1).
When I explicitly place a year in the file, either the 1990 inidcated
in the help(beav1) file or the 1900 chosen to match the default, then
R gives me times consistent with the input.
> tmp <- beav1[90:93,]
> tmp
