Fredrik Lundgren kindly provided 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

Problem in attach.default("D:/Program/splus6/libr..: Trying to allocate ve
ctor with -9 elements
Use traceback() to see the call stack
