I use to say that 97% of S(plus) user written code works unaltered in R.
The problem is with the remaining ones.

The R FAQ (mentioned in the footer of every R-help message)
contains a section on intentional differences between R and S(plus).

You might want to work with just one version of code and use the

	if(is.R()) { ## R 

	} else { ## Splus 

        }

The function is.R (in R) is written such that it should work in all
versions of S.
