You have to dig around like a dog in SVN or on github. I found in doc/manual/Makefile.in that rw-FAQ.html comes from rw-FAQ.texi; the 3.6.0 version is in qinwang's account[1], selecting blame for line 623 and 150 shows[2][3] that this was written around ten years ago by ripley. Maybe you can get a SVN viewer for Windows and pull trunk[4] to look around. | | If it's true that R is only | | tested on supported versions of | | Windows, that would exclude Vista | | and Windows 7. | | | | The download site doesn't mention | | operating system requirements. Does | | 4.0.2 work on Windows 7? | | Try it and see? This table[5] says Windows XP was the latest deprecated version. Maybe look into running something like Linux Mint?
