Tinn-R

Tinn-R, the R code editor Tinn stands for the recursive acronym 'Tinn is not Notepad'. It is initially written as a small ASCII file editor primarily intended as a better replacement for the default Notepad.exe program distributed with Windows. With versions, it grew to a fairly complete, yet simple and compact code editor. Tinn is written in Delphi 5 and it runs only under Windows (9X/Me/2000/XP). It is free and distributed under GPL 2. The specific version (Tinn-R) contains enhancements to allow syntax highlighting of S language (in *.R, *.r, *.Q or *.q files), that is, the language used by the open source statistical software R (http://www.r-project.org). It also pops up additional menu and toolbar when it detects Rgui running on the same computer. These addons interact with the R console and allow to submit code in part or in whole and to control R directly.

Tinn-R is a small, free and simple, yet efficient, replacement for the basic code editor provided by Rgui. Latest Tinn-R version and source is available on SourceForge. Note that, starting from version 1.18.x.x, Tinn-R is not compatible anymore with Rgui in MDI mode (only SDI), nor with S-PLUS! Latest compatible version is 1.17.2.4, which is still distributed here.
