BTW: The offending files are these:
+++ R-1.3.1/src/library/base/man/Rhome.Rd Sun Aug 5 02:00:39 2001
+++ R-1.3.1/src/library/base/man/kronecker.Rd Sun Aug 5 02:00:39 2001
+++ R-1.3.1/src/library/base/man/manova.Rd Sun Aug 5 02:00:39 2001
+++ R-1.3.1/src/library/mva/man/Harman74.cor.Rd Wed Aug 8 06:32:40 2001
+++ R-1.3.1/src/macintosh/FF_CREATE Sun Aug 19 08:55:53 2001
+++ R-1.3.1/src/macintosh/GETVERSION Sun Aug 19 08:56:27 2001
+++ R-1.3.1/src/macintosh/ReadMe.MPW Sun Aug 19 08:04:58 2001
The ones in the .Rd files should be avoidable. I'm less sure about the
Mac files.
