R packages in S-Plus?

Hi, is it possible to use the packages from CRAN in SPlus? and how to do it if yes?
It's going to be possible only if the packages use the common subset of the S language implemented in both R and S-PLUS: and the porter (you) will have to know how to check that. It also depends on which version of S-PLUS. But in brief R CMD Rdconv can convert the help files to Ssgml, and less successfully to Sd. Any C files may need conversion to S headers. The R files may work. After that you install in S-PLUS in the usual way. For more details see `S Programming' and its on-line complements.
