how to inspect content of save() file

Duncan Temple Lang 
Hi Benno et al.

  I have had some code for reading RDA files via R functions
and binary connections. It is available from

    http://www.omegahat.org/RDA

or
    install.packages("RDA", repos = "http://www.omegahat.org/R",
                       dep = TRUE)

It could be made faster if there is interest.

One of the motivations was to allow Spotlight on the mac
be able to index R files. In the future, I might create
an extended RDA format that puts the table of contents
at the end of the file and so we could look that up
directly as well as append new objects to the file.
And there are other good things we might do.
But we might be better off using a zip file as
a container for individually serialized objects. We
could deserialize these directly from the file without
having to unzip them.

   Anyway, hope this helps somewhat

     D.
