*** Please provide a description of the enhancement you are requesting.
Currently, the RFortran.set file specifies the path to RGui.exe (keyword
'RGuiPath'). In my opinion it would be clearer to specify BOTH the path and
name of the R executable. This makes it 100% clear to both users and developers
which file is being used (whereas currently, given the number of ongoing
changes in R/statconn/RFortran it is not always clear whether documentation is
up to date, eg, in describing which R file to link to - R.exe, Rgui.exe, etc).
It will also make it more general in the longer term, since the filenames may
change as R continues to evolve.
Otherwise, in case of confusion, time can be wasted figuring out which R
executable file is actually getting called, etc, and whether this is the
intended executable file to be calling.
*** If you have a coding solution to this enhancement please include the file
(or preferably a svn patch) as an attachment
Possible patch is attached - it supports the option for RFortran.set to specify
the keyword [RExePath] instead of [RGuiPath]. If this is done by the user,
RFortran will assume the supplied path contains both the path AND filename of
the R executable.
Note that the patch is backwards compatible. However DK would recommend making
this specification compulsory (for clarity, to avoid any possible confusion,
and for future portability)
