reading large numbers
Like I said on the other thread you started on this same issue, this is just a print setting, not something with the data. Consider this: R> as.numeric(4398801.3) == 4398801.3 TRUE If you want to change this, try options(digits = 14) # or however many you want to see And don't jump ship on threads where we've started on a topic, it just confuses the matter Michael
