     Hi Everyone: I've been going through Alan Lenarcic's package tutorial but
     when I did
     R CMD SHLIB Xdemo.cc Xdemo_main.cc -o Xdemo.dll
     I got the following error:
     XDemo_res.rc:15:38: warning: missing terminating " character
     XDemo_res.rc:23:34: warning: missing terminating ' character
     c:\mark\research\Rtools\MinGW\bin\windres.exe: XDemo_res.rc:16: syntax
     error
     make: *** [XDemo_res.o] Error 1
     The XDemo_res.rc file is below but I can't tell from that what the error
     might be ?Ã
     His tutorialà was constructed in 2007 so maybe something has changed
     slightly which is causing the problem ? I realize that this
     is a pretty undetailedà description soà if anyone is interested in helping
     me, I can send the DESCRIPTION file and NAMESPACE fileÃ
     or the link to his package tutorial etc. Ã I'm using R 2.8.1 on windows.
     Oh,
     also , if anyone does respond, I won't be able to respond back till after
     11pm US Ã Eastern Time. Thanks a lot.
