Do you have a canonical URL for a source of that file CanvasMatrix.js ? I've added the source file to the package on R-forge. Unfortunately, it's currently in an unstable state (a segfault on OSX), so I can't push this change to CRAN yet. Once I track down that bug and I'm happy it's stable again, I'll let you know. If you want to put in a link to the file before that, this one should work: https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/pkg/rgl/inst/WebGL/CanvasMatrix.src.js?root=rglview=log I can't guarantee that R-forge won't change its location, but the rgl/inst/WebGL/CanvasMatrix.src.js part should be stable.

I haven't seen any follow-up yet -- here is what it looks like (cut and
pasted from Emacs man page viewer) and note the 'Version' in place of R:
VERSION(1)FSF VERSION(1)
NAME
Version - a language for data analysis and graphics
SYNOPSIS
R [options] [ infile] [ outfile]
R CMD command [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
Start R, a system for statistical computation and graphics, with the
specified options, or invoke an R tool via the 'R CMD' interface.
[...]

It seems to stem from src/main/version.c:
void attribute_hidden PrintVersionString(char *s)
{
if(strcmp(R_SVN_REVISION, unknown)==0)
{
sprintf(s, Version %s.%s %s (%s-%s-%s),
R_MAJOR, R_MINOR, R_STATUS, R_YEAR, R_MONTH, R_DAY);
}
else{
if(strlen(R_STATUS)==0){
sprintf(s, Version %s.%s (%s-%s-%s),
R_MAJOR, R_MINOR, R_YEAR, R_MONTH, R_DAY);
}
else{
sprintf(s, Version %s.%s %s (%s-%s-%s r%s),
R_MAJOR, R_MINOR, R_STATUS, R_YEAR, R_MONTH, R_DAY,
R_SVN_REVISION);
}
}
}
Would replacing 'Version ...' with 'R (Version ...)' be an acceptable
alternative ?
I think the problem is that PrintVersion (a few lines up from there)
used to put the R in front; PrintVersionString doesn't include the R.
PrintVersionString is called from other places where the R would not be
appropriate, but PrintVersion is only called when acting on `R
--version' or synonyms.
Fritz, I think this was your change in r36923 a few months ago. Do you
have time to deal with it?
