Looks like it is written to expect text files. Please try making the file opens in R_AppedFile binary, and tell us if that solves it.

For some files, file.copy() doesn't copy these files correctly. Here you will find a file (Bitmap, 769Kb) to reproduce the problem: http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/leute/ligges/R/test1.bmp Using file.copy("c:/test1.bmp", "c:/test2.bmp", overwrite = TRUE) produces a second file with the size of ~1.4 Mb: http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/leute/ligges/R/test2.bmp To reduce size, I put both files into following zip archive: http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/leute/ligges/R/test.zip Using file.copy() with the same file on Solaris and Linux works fine.
