     These functions are provided for compatibility with older versions
     of R only, and may be defunct as soon as the next release.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     Sys.putenv(...)

     gammaCody(x)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     ...: named arguments with values coercible to a character string.

       x: numeric, >= 0.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The original help page for these functions is often available at
     'help("oldName-deprecated")' (note the quotes). Functions in
     packages other than the base package are listed in
     'help("pkg-deprecated")'.

     'Sys.putenv' is a deprecated synonym for 'Sys.setenv'.

     'gammaCody' is the (Gamma) function from the Specfun package and
     was at one time used in the Bessel code.  It may be somewhat
     faster but less precise and/or robust than R's standard 'gamma'. 
     It was here for experimental purposes.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     'Deprecated', 'base-defunct'
