After a very interesting workshop from Terry Speed's group, I have downloaded the Bioconductor suite of programmes. They installed fine and I can run the seminar examples with no problem. HOwever, I am trying to print out the manual information to learn more about the various utilities. I would like to print out the LaTex versions. HOwever, I am not a LaTex user. I have installed the latest Tex and LaTex programmes on my SUN computer (following the CTAN installation instructions). They work fine with my simple sample files. However, every time I try to run it on the Tex files with your distribution, it blows up on the first line with an error: '!Undefined Control Sequence'. I suspect that, in my ignorance of LaTex, I am probably doing something dumb. Any advice would be appreciated. Alternatively, do you have the Tex files in another format (eg. pdf or ps)? Or, do you have a consolidated manual describing the programmes and how the relate to each other? Many thanks for your help. ====================================================================== == Nicholas Birkett, M.D., M.Sc.

I'm not quite sure what you want to do (or what platform you are on, Unix, Windows, Macintosh?). Finally, this is a question about R not about Bioconductor, since all R packages have documentation. There is information available in the R FAQ and in the Writing R Extensions manual. On Unix, if I wanted to have pdf output for a particular package. I would go to the directory just above it and go: R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf annotate this would create a nice pdf version of all the man pages. On Windows the procedure is a bit different.
