S's plclust and R's hclust

Does anyone know how to implement the argument "unit" in R's plclust function ? I used to use Splus where this argument exists but it has not been implemented in R's plclust. The reason why I switched from Splus to R is that Ward's method is not implemented for S's hclust whereas it is implemented for R's hclust. What I would need is S's plclust and R's hclust together, either in R or in S. Many thanks to the ones who will help me solve that trick...
All `unit' does is to rescale the `height' component. Follow this example: data(USArrests) hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests), "ward") plot(hc) hc1 <- hc hc1$height <- rank(hc$height) plot(hc1)
