[R] Packaging platform-specific functions
I have a few functions, such as screenWidth() and screenHeight(), which I have been able to implement for a Unix/Linux environment, but not for Windows. (Does anyone know how to find the screen dimensions in Windows?) The Writing R Extensions manual tells me how to include platform-specific sections in documentation, and even how to have platform-specific help files. But it doesn't say anything about when or how to handle platform-specific code. In particular, how do package writers handle functions that make sense for one platform but not for another? I'd like to keep a single set of source code files and generate the Windows and Linux packages from it. Any suggestions?

Re: [R] Packaging platform-specific functions
Never mind. I RFTM'ed more carefully and found that the 'R' directory can also have a 'unix' or 'windows' subdirectory.
