Hi,

there seems to be a small bug in formatC:

formatC("foo", format="s", mode="charcacter")

Error in formatC("foo", format = "s", mode = "charcacter") : 
  'mode' must be "double" ("real") or "integer"

?formatC
says:

mode:  "double" (or "real"), "integer" or "character". Default: Determined from
the storage mode of x 

I tested this in the 2.8.1 release and the latest development version, both on
XP Professional.

sessionInfo for the second one:

R version 2.9.0 Under development (unstable) (2009-01-22 r47686) 
i386-pc-mingw32 

locale:
