Subject: gzfile() produces large files
I observed some strange results playing around with gzfile() [R-1.3.0,
WinNT 4.0]:
At first
x <- 1:1000
write(x, file = "c:/temp.txt")
results in a file of about 4 kB. But
my.con <- gzfile("c:/temp.gz", open = "w")
write(x, file = my.con)
close(my.con)
results in a file of about 16 kB.
I expected a reduction of the size. Anyone who can tell me what went
wrong?
