\begin{Details}\relax
\code{category} has been an old-S function before there were factors;
should be replaced by \code{\LinkA{factor}{factor}} throughout!

The new function \code{dev.print()} should now be used for saving
plots to a file or printing them.

\code{provide} and its object \code{.Provided} have been removed.
They were never used for their intended purpose, to allow one
package to subsume another.

\code{getenv} has been replaced by \code{\LinkA{Sys.getenv}{Sys.getenv}}.

\code{*.url} are replaced by calling \code{read.table}, \code{scan} or
\code{source} on a \code{\LinkA{url}{url}} connection.

\code{httpclient} was used by the deprecated \code{"socket"} method
of \code{\LinkA{download.file}{download.file}}.

\code{parse.dcf} has been replaced by \code{read.dcf}, which is much
faster, but has a slightly different interface.

\code{.Alias} provided an unreliable way to create duplicate
references to the same object. There is no direct replacement. Where
multiple references to a single object are required for semantic
reasons consider using environments or external pointers. There are
some notes on \url{http://developer.r-project.org}.

\code{.Dyn.libs} and \code{.lib.loc} were internal variables used for
storing and manipulating the information about packages with DLLs, and
the known \R{} library trees.  These are now dynamic variables which one
can get or set using \code{\LinkA{.dynLibs}{.dynLibs}} and
\code{\LinkA{.libPaths}{.libPaths}}, respectively.

\code{Machine()} and \code{Platform()} were functions returning the
variables \code{\LinkA{.Machine}{.Machine}} and \code{\LinkA{.Platform}{.Platform}}
respectively.

\code{restart()} should be replaced by \code{try()}, in preparation
for an exception-based implementation.  If you use \code{restart()} in
a way that cannot be replaced with \code{try()} then ask for help
on \code{r-devel}.

\code{printNoClass} was in package \pkg{methods} and calls directly the
internal function \code{print.default}.

\code{codes} was almost always used inappropriately.  To get the
internal coding of a factor, use \code{unclass}, \code{as.vector} or
\code{as.integer}.  For \emph{ordered} factors, \code{codes} was
equivalent to these, but for \emph{unordered} factors it assumed an
an alphabetical ordering of the levels in the locale in use.

\code{print.atomic} differed from \code{print.default} only in its
argument sequence.  It is not a method for \code{print}.

\code{La.eigen} has become the default for \code{\LinkA{eigen}{eigen}}.

\code{tetragamma} and \code{pentagamma} have been replaced by
\code{\LinkA{psigamma}{psigamma}}.

\code{package.description} has been replaced by
\code{\LinkA{packageDescription}{packageDescription}} in \pkg{utils}.

\code{loadURL} has been superseded by \code{\LinkA{load}{load}(url())}.

\code{delay} has been replaced by \code{\LinkA{delayedAssign}{delayedAssign}}. 
Unevaluated promises should never be visible.

\code{write.table0} was an \R-level version of \code{write.table}
provided for temporary back-compatibility.

\code{format.char} was an auxiliary function for \code{\LinkA{formatC}{formatC}}
whose functionality (and more) is provided by \code{\LinkA{format.default}{format.default}}.

\code{La.chol} and \code{La.chol2inv} became the default methods for
\code{\LinkA{chol}{chol}} and \code{\LinkA{chol2inv}{chol2inv}}.

Functions \code{symbol.C} and \code{symbol.For} are for historical
compatibility with S.  \code{symbol.C} just returns its argument
unchanged, whereas \code{symbol.For} will map to lower case and
append an underscore on those platforms (almost all) which do so for
Fortran symbols.  These are no longer of any use in \R.

\code{unix} was a \emph{deprecated} (since the 1990s) alternative to
\code{\LinkA{system}{system}}, available for backwards compatibility.

\code{gammaCody} is the \eqn{(\Gamma)}{} function from the Specfun
package used at C level in the Bessel code.  It may be
somewhat faster but less precise and/or robust than \R's standard
\code{\LinkA{gamma}{gamma}}.  Re R-level interface  was here for experimental
purposes.
