I downloaded the latest version of maanova (version 1.12.0) from bioconductor that is presumably designed to work with R 2.8.0. However, upon using some of the functions (say gridcheck on the dataset kidney provided with the package), I get the following error message: > data(kidney) > gridcheck(kidney.raw) Error in get(getOption("device")) : invalid first argument It is my understanding that all of the get(getOption("device")) commands now need to be replaced by dev.new() in R 2.8.0. If so, could this be done with this particular package? Thanks, Rob Tempelman [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

This makes it more likely that the incorrect (since R 2.5.0) assumption in packages that get(getOption("device"))() will work will catch users of those packages.
