That is not what I asked!
it from the R prompt would fail, but it doesn't.
But the version read from the file is syntactically incomplete.... This implies that something is going wrong in the read.
Hehe. You've been doing too little Perl hacking, Brian! When a Perl hacker says that he has 121 17 digit numbers followed by a NL, he means that he has *one* input line which is over 2k long...
To, the contrary, I have been doing far too much recently, as you will see when Rd2hlp gets released. To the point that I would never do that, and precisely my point about the file: there had to be something unusual about it.
