It's not that simple! Anecdotal evidence has constructed a few scenarios where R will run, but S-PLUS won't, and a few where R will barely run, but S-plus has very few problems (problem == slowness, in this case). It would be critical to be a subjective Bayesian about it, since weighting of common applications, and perhaps more importantly, quality of code for matching up with the difference, will have a large impact. best, -tony -- A.J.
