Subject: Re: [R] R cross-platform compatibility--wow!
Date: Thursday, April 11, 2002 4:04 AM

Hi

I usually work on the same .RData in windows and linux whithout any
problem, for a long time.

This is one of preferred features in R.

In my opinion R is one of the best examples in cross-platform
compatibility.

Best regards, thanks and keep the good work.
