[ESS] Using ESS with S-plus 8.1

[Richard M. Heiberger]

It works fine for me.

I just did M-x Sqpe on a vista system and all is well.

I will try again at home with Windows 7 and 8.  I expect that it will work.

M-x S+6-existing has been giving me problems for a while.  My solution
is to use M-x Sqpe
