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.
