Can someone tell me how to make up (eg) a library's html help files by
hand? I think I ought to be able to use RCMD Rdconv for this but
(R-2.10.0, MS-win) when I type (in a dos session) "rdcmd rdconv --help"
I get a message to the effect that a perl script rdconv can't be opened.

Can I do this from within R itself? And if so, how (in particular, what
is the target file to be converted)?

1. Please upgrade R. R-2.10.0 was the first version with a new help system, hence there are some corrections made in the meantime.

2. Please read the manual Writing R Extensions.

3. R is case sensitive which is important for the name of the script, hence please use "R CMD Rdconv". I do not have 2.10.0 installed anywhere, but at least since R-2.10.1, Rdconv.sh is a shell script rather than a perl script.

Best,
Uwe Ligges







Thanks!
