+R Statistical Programming Language <www.r-project.org>
+
+R is a language and environment for statistical computing and
+graphics. It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and
+environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T,
+now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues. R can be
+considered as a different implementation of S. There are some
+important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered
+under R.
