Hi R-People:
I use 2 machines: a machine with a Windows XP operating system, and
another with a Linux Ubuntu OS. I transport my code between these 2
machines. However, pathnames to data files always need to be
"adjusted" to account for the OS that I'm working on.
Here is my question:
How do I write code to detect whether I'm using the XP or the Linux
machine?
If I knew this, I could write my code in a way so that I didn't
have to adjust path names to data file all the time.
I checked the archives... didn't find anything, but perhaps didn't
know the right search terms...
The help for ``version'' says to use .Platform$OS.type
to check what platform the code is running on.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
