R help - Jan 2001 - Transporting s-plus routines to R

I have used S-Plus for Windows for some time and have a large collection of
personal programs. I have recently installed R-1.1.1 under Linux. I can read the
.ssc files from S-Plus into emacs and save to R, but this is apt to be tedious.
Any shortcuts to recommend? Will linux R read the _Data files from Windows
S-Plus? Would Windows R serve as a useful intermediate transfer?

Yes. If all functions used within the *.ssc files are well known by R,
simply rename the files to *.r.

There is a function in the package Rstreams (available at CRAN), which
reads some binary S-Plus files.

The above mentioned methods work also on Linux.
