Réf. : [ESS] Running multiple S+ versions

[gerald.jean at dgag.ca]

Ok, maybe I should be a little more explicit.

I am, usually, running a 64-bit version of Splus that we have named
"Splus64", I added the following lines in my ".emacs" file:

(require 'ess-site)
(add-hook 'ess-mode-hook
   (function (lambda()
             (setq-default inferior-S+6-program-name
                             "/actuaria/splus_app64/bin/Splus64")
             (setq ess-ask-for-ess-directory nil)
             (setq ess-directory nil)
             (setq ess-execute-in-process-buffer t)
             (make-local-variable 'comment-indent-function)
             (setq-default comment-indent-function 'ess-comment-indent)
             (fset 'run-s "\C-x2\M-xS\C-m")
             (global-set-key "\M-s" 'run-s)         ; ESC-s runs "run-s"
which starts S
             (setq ess-source-directory
                 "/~/actuaria/jeg002/Splus6/functions/")
)))

and "M-S" started that version of Splus, doing that for the last several
years without problems, "Splus64" is Splus-6.2, 64-bit.

I am a Beta tester for S+7, obviously I don't want to get rid of "Splus64"
and I would like to be able to run "S+7" and "Splus64" from ESS.  S+7 is
located in: "/actuaria/splus7_app/bin" and the executable is named:
"Splus7", I tried to add the following lines in the lambda function above
but it didn't work!

             (setq-default inferior-S+7-program-name
                             "/actuaria/splus7_app/bin/Splus7")

Any suggestions?  By the way my lisp's programming skills are extremely
limited!

Thanks,
