[R] FW: S+ Script Files for R???

[Spencer Graves]

	  How do you handle the S-Plus commands that don't work in R (or 
produce different results)?  My current favorite is as follows:

	  if(is.null(version$language)){S-Plus} else{R}

If R, I can, for example, define a function "survReg <- survreg", then 
use my S-Plus script.
