I ported R to OpenStep, the precursor to Apple's new Rhapsody OS. Rhapsody's core is just just BSD Unix, so the port took about 4 hours to find the few definitions that had to be changed. Of course, this is just a command-line version. But the language is, IMHO, the heart and soul of Splus and how it differentiates itself in the marketplace. I submit that a port to Linux and a port to Rhapsody could be an almost identical code tree. Seriously. And they'd get another market for free. In the mean time, R will own that market as they own the Linux market. Cheers, Steve --- Steven M.
