It depends what you mean by clash :-) If both are on the PATH, then you get the first one, I suspect, when running either 'R' or 'r'. I haven't tested this bit yet, but on my OS X laptop I can invoke a new R session using either 'R' or 'r' (using an R built from source, not the R GUI app thingie). So IMO, a different name or an integration into the R script in some way would be a big improvement. 'r' is cute, but going down the road of tools with the same name except for caps leads to confusion (for me). For example, R CMD build/INSTALL still catches me up after a number of years. + seth ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
