Bob, It would be likely easier just to ask ;) the sources are still there in the original 2006 SVN repo:
http://svn.rforge.net/osx/trunk/RSwitch/ <http://svn.rforge.net/osx/trunk/RSwitch/> It’s really just a very tiny utility, but works on Catalina as well. I can try to build it on the CRAN machine so it will match the current R binaries and thus support the same OS X/macOS versions (assuming it’s not using something too new that’s incopatible). I like the idea of the a menubar app - if/when you’re happy with your app, let me know and I’ll have a look. My only concern is to keep the R layout and detection in sync so if you are willing to contribute it we I can add it to the CRAN section.

[OT] Well, that’s nice, but leaves a many users especially those that cannot afford to buy a new Mac every year in the dark so the so-called “ethical” consideration is rather questionable since it’s rather the opposite. I would certainly want to make sure it works on OS X systems that are supported by CRAN. > A core difference between the 2011 version and this 2019 version is that it's > a menubar app vs a window app. > > The code and binary release are at <https://git.rud.is/hrbrmstr/RSwitch>, > which has links to other social coding sites where the codebase is > co-maintained. > > I have a bit more work to do on it (mostly just rounding out corners) but it > has "worked for me" on Catalina betas and any/all contributions are > welcome/encouraged. > > -boB > > _______________________________________________ > R-SIG-Mac mailing list > R-SIG-Mac@r-project.org > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list R-SIG-Mac@r-project.org https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
