[R] R 1.1.0 dev.print()

[Stephen Eglen]

Hi, I just upgraded to 1.1.0 from 1.0.1 this morning on my OSF/1
machine.  I now have problems with the following code:

%E /tmp 43% R --vanilla
Version 1.1.0  (June 15, 2000)
...

> test2 <- function ()
{
  plot(runif(30))
  ofile <- "/tmp/newfile.ps"
  dev.print(file = ofile)
}

+ + + + + > > test2()
Error in device(...) : Object "ofile" not found


However, if I just write the filename directly into the call to
dev.print() rather than using a variable name, it works okay:


> test1 <- function ()
{
  plot(runif(30))
  dev.print(file = "/tmp/newfile.ps")
}

+ + + + > > test1()
X11 
  2 

I just checked, and test1() works fine on R-1.0.1 - what am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Stephen
