[R-SIG-Mac]two OSX/Darwin events of interest to R

[Jan de Leeuw]

There is now a Cocoa port of Emacs 20.7 (i.e. a Cocoa wrapper around the
Darwin Emacs) at http://www.porkrind.org/emacs/. Of course there were
already command line versions of Emacs, as well as X11 versions of
Emacs and XEmacs.

These X11 versions you can get from fink at http://fink.sourceforge.net.
Fink is a way cool system to maintain and update and patch and install
packages for Darwin. Just install fink, and then get the various updates
from the CVS, and install them more or less automagically. Fink has
now about 200 packages (one of them is R-base).

Since yesterday, fink also has a version of g77. This is a fink 
adaptation
of the g77 for Darwin done by http://www-
jlc.kek.jp/~fujiik/macosx/10.0.X/,
which has many interesting packages available as RPM.

O, yes, fink also has rootless Xfree86.
