[R] Portable R in zip file for Windows

[John C Frain]

Can you please explain where you get the R-studio zip file and how you
manage to run r-studio from it without expanding it.  I do not see how this
is possible and would be delighted if you would share that knowledge with
us.  Obviously this possibility has not occurred to anyone on the list
