the following notes on updating S source code for S-Plus 6.x on Windows systems.
In 'Professional Edition Version 6.0.3 Release 2 for Microsoft Windows : 2001'
I simply choose 'Chapters' in the 'File' menu and then 'New Working Chapter..., browse to 'D:\Program\splus6\library\design' in my case or more generally to
'SHOME\library\design'
I get error messages, which I don't know how to interpret or circumwent:
At startup chose
'D:\Program\splus6\library\design' in my case or more generally to
'SHOME\library\design' as working directory
I get a message
Problem: Trying to allocate vector with -9 elements
but it works and allow you to handle objects in Design\.Data
Problem: Trying to allocate vector with -9 elements
Problem: Internal error: bad call to eval_close
Use traceback() to see the call stack
Error during wrapup: Invalid frame number (0) in set_frame
but Design is placed at pos = 1 and I can work on Design
with e.g.
fix(whateverfunction)
source('whateverdirectory/whatfile.s')
and this works
To update e.g. the design library I deleted everything in D:\Program\splus6\library\design\.Data,
but I don't know if this is necessary.
attach('D:/Program/splus6/library/design', pos = 1) in my case or more generally attach('SHOME/library/design', pos = 1)
works as well but also gives some error messages
