R in different OS

Hi All,
I have two Rs, one has been installed in Windows system and another one has been installed under UNIX system. Is there any environmental variable or function to tell me which R I am using? The reason that I need to know it is under different system, the data path could be different. I want to do something like
if it is R under Windows
path = "/ABC"
else if it is R under UNIX,
path = "/DEF"
Any idea? Thanks.

See ?.Platform, more specifically: On Unixen (eg. Linux, OSX)
.Platform$OS.type
[1] "unix" and on Windows, will be "windows". If needed, look at the additional functions listed in the See Also on the help page (eg. ?Sys.info, etc.). HTH, Marc Schwartz
