My last-ever post on editing R scripts
While stipulating that Emacs is in all respects bigger better faster,
and indeed is an environment in which one could spend nearly 100% of
one's time at the computer, let me mention that I just installed,
tried and like Tinn-R on W*****s XP, mentioned on R-help recently and
new to me. To my taste it's as useful as R-WinEdt and is free as in
beer. I can see myself using it extensively, at least based on 30
minutes of testing, and will recommend it around Chair's office
There's no ''install''; it's just a single exe file. If it detects an
active instance of R-GUI, an R related menu automagically appears in
Tinn
