Hi,
yesterday I installed the current R-devel and now I get
the following warning message for program codes which made no
problems under version R-1.2.3:

Example:
R> read.table("test.dat")
Warning message:
incomplete final line in: readLines(con, n, ok)
 
where `test.dat' looks like

peters@artemis:~ > cat test.dat
1 2 3peters@artemis:~ >

i.e. without a newline at the end.

The warning can be suppressed if the last line in "test.dat" ends with
"\n". Is there a reason why "test.dat" should end with "\n" or is this a
bug in R-devel?

Andrea
