Yes, I was not aware of .ssc, either. Will fix that.

Thanks,

The Info.plist modifications I sent Simon a while back
included both dot-ssc and dot-s for S-plus files.

Might want to keep in mind that dot-s (and dot-S) is the
file extension for assembly source and on case-insensitive
file systems, like Windows and Mac OS X (HFS+ using default
settings), that could cause confusion if assembly source
files are present.

See also gcc(1).

On Windows outside of gcc, assembly source is normally named *.asm.  R 
only uses one assembly source file named *.S so I think it's fairly 
unlikely that this will cause confusion.  I don't know if it's more 
common on OS X.

On the other hand, *.s or *.S are reasonably common names for S source 
files in packages, so I think this is a useful change, at least in Windows.
