I went out searching and thought I had found an answer in the archives, but I see it was authored by you, so it must not have been entirely satisfactory: http://markmail.org/search/?q=list%3Aorg.r-project.r-help+hpgl#query:list%3Aorg.r-project.r-help%20hpgl+page:1+mid:sxly4345y6tbj4dw+state:results I also saw the suggestion from Koenker. The current holder of the rights to the S language (at least on PC's) would be TIBCO. They do list the acronym `hpgl` on one page in the S+ documentation, but it is in the "deprecated functions" section (p 39): http://www.uni-koeln.de/themen/statistik/software/s/v81/functionguide.pdf Good luck. -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
