Dear R devel list

I was wondering whether zip() contains a windows specific call to
system(),

Actually, it does not contain a call to system() ....

as the argument "invisible" seems to be windows specific, yet
is used anytime by zip:

And what is your problem here? R ignores the arguments to systems() where not needed.

invisible(system2(zip, args, invisible = TRUE))


Indeed, calling zip() on Linux results in a warning message:

file.create("try")

[1] TRUE

zip("try.zip", "try")

adding: try (stored 0%)

Message d'avis :

In system2(zip, args, invisible = TRUE) :

arguments 'minimized' and 'invisible' are for Windows only

unlink("try")
