I have tried all different options - compile from source, Rtools, binary,
RWinEdt versions <2.0 and current - on both R 3.1.2 and R 3.2.2.  All have
failed with error
messages as follows:

--------------------------------- 1-------------------------------------

Package which is only available in source form, and may need
  compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘RWinEdt’
