Hi.

Is there an easy way (analogous to the $^O variable in perl) to find
out what operating system R is currently using?

.Platform is probably what you want. R.version gives related information. I don't think there's anything built in to determine platform version numbers.

For instance, running 32-bit R on 64-bit Windows 7 .Platform says

> .Platform
$OS.type
[1] "windows"

$file.sep
[1] "/"

$dynlib.ext
[1] ".dll"

$GUI
[1] "Rgui"

$endian
[1] "little"

$pkgType
[1] "win.binary"

$path.sep
[1] ";"

$r_arch
[1] ""
