*** IMPORTANT NOTICE *** R 1.7.1 is the last build of Carbon R. We will not support MacOS 8.6 -> 9.2.2. any more. Starting with R 1.8.0 there will only be the MacOS X (Darwin) build of R. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This directory contains binaries for a base distribution and packages to run on Apple Macintosh (System 8.6 to 9.2.2 and MacOS X). The directories are managed by contrib: Stefano M. Iacus and Jean Thioulouse In this directory you find the base distribution of R for MacOS in the archive rm171.sit: which contains the base R distribution + all the recommended packages relative to version 1.7.1 of R The "contrib" directory will contain many of the contributed packages precompiled for this version of R for MacOS. This directory is no more updated. For any particular need please write to us, but don't expect too much. Note: CRAN does not have Macintosh systems and cannot check these binaries for viruses. Use the normal precautions with downloaded executables. RUNNING R: Unstuff the archive and double-click on the R icon. Enjoy! Stefano M. Iacus Nov 20th 2003
