\begin{Description}\relax
These functions are provided for compatibility with older versions of
\R{} only, and may be defunct as soon as the next release.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
symbol.C(name)
symbol.For(name)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{name}] a character string giving either the name of a C function
or Fortran subroutine.
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
The original help page for these functions is often
available at \code{help("oldName-deprecated")} (note the quotes).
Functions in packages other than the base package are listed in
\code{help("pkg-deprecated")}.

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 much use in \R.
