[R] trouble printing from graphics device in R 2.7.2

[Jenny Drnevich]

Hi Tom,

No, there are binaries for both the patched and development versions. 
On the page on CRAN where you normally download the windows binary 
(e.g., http://cran.wustl.edu/bin/windows/base/),  there are links at 
the top to the patched and devel builds.

HTH,
Jenny
