Hi, Duncan:  Please excuse:  I mixed 2 questions in one email.


       My first question was why "texi2dvi" failed.  It fails with "R 
CMD build" on my notebook computer and on R-Forge, but don't know how to 
make it fail otherwise.  AND it fails in something I don't think I've 
changed in years.  I mentioned R-Forge, because that provides a 
replicable example.  All CRAN tests now show Status: NOTE, but when I 
click on "NOTE", I get nothing.  In Safari and FireFox, nothing 
happens.  In Chrome, the screen goes blank.


       I'll try to refer the second question to someone at RStudio.


       Thanks,
       Spencer Graves
