If only I knew... I suspect that some actual coding changes are needed
for the event loop and the graphics interface, whereas the main body
of the parser and the internals, as well as the interpreted code are
highly portable. That's the situation with the Windows version anyway,
and I can't believe that MacProgramming can be worse that the Win32
API.

One thing that I have been looking at a bit is the possibility of
coding up a Tcl/Tk version of R. This could be made portable between
all three architectures (X/Win32/Mac) and probably evolve into a set
of R/Tk language bindings a.m. STk (Scheme Tk), so we could have menu
interfaces and R functions that are call via a button-click, etc.

your email was to me privately, but I hope you won't mind.]
