 <h2>Introduction</h2>

 <p><b>R</b> is a computer language not entirely unlike the S
 language developed at AT&amp;T Bell Laboratories by Rick Becker,
 John Chambers and Allan Wilks. The two languages are implemented
 quite differently, but bear enough superficial resemblance that
 users should be able to switch between the two with relative ease.
 Currently the software is undergoing active development. Discussion
 of the development process is carried out on the "r-devel" mailing
 list. See the <a href="resources.html">resources page</a> for
 details on how to subscribe to this list.</p>

 <p>We have implemented <b>R</b> in what we hope is a very portable
 fashion and in way which requires relatively little in the way of
 machine resources. Implementations exist for many for many members
 of the Unix family of operating systems, including <b>AIX</b>,
 <b>FreeBSD</b>, <b>GNU/Linux</b>, <b>HPUX</b>, <b>Irix</b>,
 <b>macOS</b>, <b>Solaris</b>, and <b>Tru64</b>. In addition there
 is a version for <b>Microsoft Windows</b> (9x, ME, NT4, 2000,
 XP).</p>

 <h2>Present Status</h2>

 The present version implements most of the functionality in the
 1988 S book (the "Blue Book") and many of the applications. In
 addition, we have implemented much of the functionality from the
 1992 S book (the "White Book"). In particular we have versions of
 "lm", "glm", "aov" and "loess", and versions of "gam" and "tree"
 are available in contributed packages. There are several manuals in
 the distribution, plus a comprehensive set of help pages in "output
 independent" form which can be used to create versions for HTML,
 LaTeX, text, PDF etc.
