Dear Prof. Ripley:

As I reread your answer, I find I'm not completely certain about one point: Is it correct to say that previously compiled code ran for you, but when you needed to compile something, you needed to use a more modern compiler?


Indeed, it was the compiler itself that would not run. That meant that dyn.load() was not available to us, but dll.load() using VC6 worked (if tediously).


      Thanks again.

The only problem we found was that the Watcom compilers we used to compile for S-PLUS 2000 did not run under XP. They were discontinued long ago, and we probably did not have the final versions.

Otherwise we ran quite extensive tests using S-PLUS 2000 under Windows XP until late 2003, and saw no difference from Windows 2000.

Does anyone have experience running S-Plus 2000 under Windows XP? Our company is planning to upgrade operating systems to Windows XP, and we'd like to know if this change might break some of our legacy applications that we'd prefer not to have to migrate from S-Plus 2000 to S-Plus 6.1 or 6.2. Insightful just told me that S-Plus 2000 "does run under Windows XP but has not undergone extensive testing and is not supported under Windows XP."
