Dear friends - I'm using Tinn-R in Windows and find it OK. My son is running MacOS and is just starting using R and I know nothing about MacOS and R but we seem to have difficulties in finding something similar to Tinn for MaC. What are your suggestions? Thanks a lot! Troels Ring, MD Aalborg, Denmark

That being said, Emacs/ESS is perhaps the most conceptually similar environment. It is also portable across Windows, OSX and Linux, which can provide consistency advantages if supporting multiple platforms. Vincent Goulet has made it easy to install for OSX with a binary image. More info here: http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/en/ressources/emacs/mac He also has a Windows installer here: http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/en/ressources/emacs/windows Further OSX specific queries are also best posted to: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac HTH, Marc Schwartz
TextMate from www.macromates.com is a very nice editor, similar in power to Emacs, but much more Macish. It has its own subculture with many macro packages. It is NOT free, but not very expensive either. redcar available from http://redcareditor.com/ open source sibling of TextMate running on different platforms (Java and Ruby based).

I don't have a Mac OS, but some people reported success using the Vim-R-plugin with the Conque Shell plugin [2] in OS X. The next version of the plugin will have some support to send code to R gui using AppleScript (I can send by email the development version to anyone interested in testing the new feature). The links: [1] http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2628 [2] http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2771 Best regards, Jakson Aquino
I didn't see JGR suggested yet (maybe it's like Tinn-R(?)): http://www.rforge.net/JGR/screenshots.html I'm a fan of the emacs/ess combo myself. -steve On Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 10:41 AM, Troels Ring <tring at gvdnet.dk> wrote:> Dear friends - I'm using Tinn-R in Windows and find it OK.
