Another possibility is

    if(exists("is.R") && is.R()) {R} else {S-Plus}

but I find it more convenient to define a small library of functions to put in
an Splus library. These cover a few small differences (my list of these is
getting very short) and provide some functionality of R that is missing from
Splus. This includes

   is.R <- function() {F} #S version

which simplifies the above check to if(is.R()){R} else {S-Plus}.

I would be happy to forward the whole (short) list of functions if you like.
