[R-SIG-Mac]Which version should I use?

[jago@mclink.it]

Jan version is a unix build for Darwin/X11.
For a unix user it is probably the "first best". "My" version is 
intedend to work on earlier versions of MacOS up to OSX.

I'm confident that Jan build is more stable then the carbon version. 
Major problems in my version is that I have to implement several stuff 
that are given for free under unix but not under MacOS and its 
compilers (!).

Both version accept dynamic linking well. Packages are examples of that.

As I am the only (actually) developer of R for MacOS and there are many 
things to implement it is not always esay for me that fix/implement all 
and R/Mac users are really precious for their feedback to me.

p.s. thanks to Don for its opinion
