You forgot the "Dr."! ...(Nah, I'm kidding.)
Ok, but if we want to use the search engine from the initial page, it's much simpler to search for "GNU-S" then to search for "R" :-P Alberto Monteiro
Certainly, but how many people know of it as the GNU implementation of the S programming language (or is it family now? Doesn't seem very clear) rather than as the "R programming language"? Google hits prove nothing of course, but "R programming language" gets ~50,300,000 ghits and GNU-S ~3,910,000 (I'm not including hits for "GNU S", since looking over the top 20 shows it to be a rather ambiguous term, but even "GNU-S"'s first hit is for the mail reader Gnus). ~maru _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
