Is there a list of functions that have changed their behavior from Splus
4.5 to Splus 2000?  I was using function that called samp.boot.mc and
found that samp.boot.mc has changed how it works between versions.

The old version took 2 arguments:

inds - a vector of indices
B - number of bootstrap samples

usually the vector of indices was 1:n however, if you passed a vector
of row.names this worked fine.

The new version takes 2 arguments
n - number of items 
B - number of bootstrap samples

I can deal with these changes in my program but the difference is
non-trivial. In fact, I was able to easily make a change that I thought
would suffice and found that the program ran without complaint and
produced incorrect answers.  If I can get a list of functions that have
changed behavior I can use a text search through my program scripts to
identify potential problem areas.

Thanks,
