Subject: R 1.5.1 not working with Windows NT on Virtual PC 4 (PR#1932)
In-Reply-To: <200208230709.JAA19081@pubhealth.ku.dk>
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.31.0208230824090.2168-100000@gannet.stats>

1) What is `Virtual PC 4'?

2) Why did you send this as a bug report to R-bugs?
R does run on Windows NT, and does not claim to run under `Virtual PC 4'.
So this cannot be considered to be a bug in R.

I would have thought you would be sending the bug report to the vendors
of `Virtual PC 4'.  A request on R-help might have been appropriate.
