[R] [Fwd: Re: How to activate the R commands in SciViews]
Well.. plans are there from a long time to rewrite SciViews completely and make it platform independent (to work on Linux/Unix and MacOS X, as well as Windows). I have done some work in this direction when time permitted, but I am pretty busy with other work. During the holidays, I will continue to work in this direction. I will try to package a first running version of SciViews compatible with latest R and Rcmdr for Windows and Linux for next September. At least, I *have* to do so, because I *need* it for one of my teachings which will be done in a different University (where all machines are running with Linux)! So, my advice would be to check the web site again in September/October for some news. Unfortunately, I cannot promise more. Sorry for the long delays. I do my best, and the second programmer (Eric Lecoutre) has left the project a long time ago... so, I am alone on this!
