Warnings with R version 3

[izahn]

I just upgraded to R version three, and now print.ascii gives warning message

"In rep(rownames, length = nrow(x)) :
'x' is NULL so the result will be NULL"

It would be nice if this were fixed! I'll

In R 3.0.2, ascii() throws a warning on every example show the doc. While this is certainly not the end of the world, it is not the best marketing for your package and rather annoying for users.

I think eusebe fixed it in the 2.2 github version.

This does seem to be fixed in source, but there isn't a release reflecting those changes in CRAN. Any chance of cutting a new release?

[jwhendy]

Bump on this request. This git version works great; could you push to CRAN? I just set up a new system and had to re-remember this due to rownames and colnames errors on my output...

[dwcoates]

Push to CRAN would still be nice!
