Re: [Rd] How to test if R is running on a Mac

Yes, sorry about the divination. FWIW I've seen another report of this (in passing, while addressing another issue) on the Bioconductor mailing list, and suspect that US users (and others?) will frequently be perplexed, perhaps spending significant time trying to track down how the 'wrong' data got

Re: [Rd] How to test if R is running on a Mac

I use Sys.info()["sysname"]. It returns "Darwin" on a Mac, "Windows" on MS Windows and "Linux" on my Linux box. Is this sufficient for your needs, I'm using R-2.6.0alpha on MS Windows and 2.5.0 on Mac and Linux at the moment. cheers, Keith Satterley Bioinformatics Division The Walter and Eliza
