Sorry no I do not mean such "devices" I thought about the Graphic User Interfaces, to use the R-System with a windows like surface http://www.sciviews.org/. I see the difficulties for the user which want to change from SPSS or Statistica or ? to R just inside my family. I am using R to reproduce the SPSS results (just for fun because I want my to learn R) my wife is using SPSS for her research program. But it takes a long time for scientist to learn the command line syntax. There is not time for this if the scientist is just inside a any research ... and the scientist is mostly inside any research. for example http://www.sciviews.org/. was broken since the new version 2.?? (I think so). But if there would be a defined interface between the GUIs and R the developer of this interface must only change one interface instead all developer of the GUIs must change their GUIs If i remember then I it was a great improvement of Linux in the past after there was a GUI available which was like windows. This was a great step for the acceptance of LINUX. I think this would be the same for R. but there must be a stable interface for GUI programmers available before. Hope this could clarify my suggestion :-) Regards Knut ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
