Oh, yeah? Then how did I know you were going to say that, huh?

Gabor has suggested what I think is the best way to do this check, but
in my experience, if you are doing this check then you are almost
certainly missing some feature of R that will let you avoid doing it.

I think what in my experience is the most common causen for R code
being confined to one platform has not yet been mentioned: it needs a
package that is only available on one platform: of CRAN/BioC packages
that is only a small proprtion, but out of 2000 a small proportion is
still tens.

X11() on my Vista machine running 2.8.1 seems to work the same as
windows(). From the help page, the only difference I see is that
'X11' (and 'x11') have only width, height and pointsize arguments
('windows' has another 13).

There is one MAJOR issue you will have to watch out for, far more
likely to turn up than calls like system().
This is that, if you want to have two or more plotting windows
in use at the same time, while the first one is autoatically
opened by the plot() command, you will have to open additional

Yes, if you avoid system-dependent calls like, um, system , there
should be no problem. For example, normal stuff like t test, correlation,
plot, hist,
Definitely "maybe". Possibly "yes". Usually.
Pick one of the above.
