S-PLUS <= 2000  Watcom C++ (not really available any more)
S-PLUS 6.x: Microsoft VC++6 (possibly hard to get now)
R: MinGW port of gcc-3.2.

In each case the information is in the documentation.  In all cases if you
know what you are doing you can use any C++ compiler that can create a
DLL, but using the recommended compiler makes life a lot easier when you
want to call entry points in the S-PLUS/R main DLL.

You can see further details and worked examples in `S Programming' and its
on-line complements.
