Indeed, it's just the current version of Wine without any add ons (it is reasonably easy to compile and I could put up a binary for those interested). Originally I was installing it only to be able to run HHC when cross-compiling R for Windows and I was surprised that the resulting R worked including graphics and all. The Wine page is warning that the support is very shaky, but apparently it is sufficient to run R (the R installer works as well). You can, of course, get even better Windows support if you have a Windows license and use native DLLs instead of Wine's implementations, but that's another story and we may be getting off-topic here I suppose ;) Cheers, Simon > > At 9:15 AM -0800 11/10/06, Jan de Leeuw wrote: >> Well, you couldn't run it without Windows if it >> used Parallels, so it must be CrossOver. >> >> On Nov 10, 2006, at 09:06 , Don MacQueen wrote: >> >>> Simon, >>> >>> Is that R Windows GUI being run using CrossOver >>> (http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/)?
