[Rd] Syntax Error in Rcmd check on Windows

[Michael Hoehle]

Dear R-developers,

I am currently developing an R package called RLadyBug. When
developing under Linux "R CMD check ." works fine without a warning.
However, when I do "Rcmd check ." under Windows (version 2.4.0 and
earlier)  I get a „syntax error" when checking the examples.

This puzzles me somewhat, because a manual source("RLadyBug-Ex.R") on
Windows works fine. On the other hand, a "Rterm.exe --no-save <
RLadyBug-Ex.R" in a command shell under Windows reproduces the error.
My first guess was that the very long line was causing the problem,
but when I open RLadyBug-Ex.R in Emacs, change the coding system from
"undecided-dos" to "undecided-unix" and save the file "Rterm.exe
--no-save < RLadyBug-Ex.R" works fine....

Does anybody has an idea what is causing the error and how to fix this?

Best regards,

Michael Höhle
