[R-sig-Debian] translation from windows to linux

[Mathieu Basille]

To answer the second question, under Debian, I have the following solution:

> apropos("zip")
[1] "unzip"            "zip"              "zip.file.extract"

'unzip' or 'zip.file.extract' should give you what you want.

To answer the first question, after many years of using R with Linux, it
is the first time I see an OS-specific function... I'm probably not the
best person to answer.

Mathieu.

When I encounter a function which is not in R linux what is the best way to find the right linux function for it? So next time I can help myself. I browsed the web for a long time and could not find anything to the the function
