Which version should I use?
Jan version is a unix build for Darwin/X11. For a unix user it is probably the "first best". "My" version is intedend to work on earlier versions of MacOS up to OSX. I'm confident that Jan build is more stable then the carbon version. Major problems in my version is that I have to implement several stuff that are given for free under unix but not under MacOS and its compilers (!). Both version accept dynamic linking well. Packages are examples of that. As I am the only (actually) developer of R for MacOS and there are many things to implement it is not always esay for me that fix/implement all and R/Mac users are really precious for their feedback to me. Stefano p.s. thanks to Don for its opinion

Apologies for the 0th-order question. I'm a longtime user of Splus, but I am switching (or trying, anyway) to the Mac, and would like to take this opportunity to try R. I'm mostly hoping to _use_ R, not work on it, though I am of course happy to submit bug reports and that sort of thing. My immediate question is: should I use the Carbon/Iacus or the Cocoa(?)/deLeeuw version? Are there major functional differences? Are they similar in terms of stability? Are there likely to be any difficulties in set-up, or do they both "just work"; for the latter question, does the specific species of X-windows matter? Thanks in advance for answers, and thank you all for working on this software. --Phil Price Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
