[ESS] Réf. : no need for (require 'cl)

[gerald.jean at dgag.ca]

Hello everyone,

I finally got to last week Stephen's suggestion.  The four new commands
created by Rich to call different versions of S+ with different options all
show up, in addition to the the commands he had previously defined, in the
ESS menu Start Process ---> Other.  For the three commands previously
defined they keep working as before; for the new ones with command line
options the results follow: sorry for the length, but there is a lot of
options!

Splus -j

 Process S+6 is not running.  "echoed in the mini buffer".

"Splus7 is finally started but not with the required options.  Note that I
am logging to the Sun server through an application called "ICA" from my
PC; in fact it is a bit more complicated, ICA first log to an HP server
which in turns log me (transparently) to the Sun server.  Once on the Sun I
start Emacs and then S+.  Not sure if the complaining about "DISPLAY" comes
from that?"  The variable DISPLAY is set to "hp-prod1:17.0".  Note that I
am getting graphics to display on my PC screen."

>From a Unix prompt, the "-jh" option gives me the following error.

If I get this right the options must be passed separately and the "
-headless" can't be abbreviated (I tried and got the same error).

Have a nice weekend all,
