[R] R ON Mac

[Don MacQueen]

However, for there to be a difference between Mac and PC means that 
something else is going on.

I would guess that the PC is set to a LOCALE for which "," is the 
default decimal separator, and the Mac is set to a LOCALE for which 
"." is the default decimal separator. (If locale settings affect the 
separator, that is. I don't know for sure whether they do. See 
?locales to start learning more...)

Either that or the input files are different on the two different computers.
