importing S-Plus data files
As I said, I believe at least in S-PLUS 6.1, the files in _Data are binary compatible across platforms. (As Prof. Ripley says, if that's the `data' you meant.) If the S-PLUS on Linux is so broken, and the Windows version can't read the data, then there's a good chance the data is corrupted somehow. And as BDR said, your best bet is Insightful Tech Support. Short of that, try S-news. You're not likely to get useful help on R-help. The capabilities of reading S-PLUS files in R are limited to those available in the `foreign' package, and mentioned in the R Data Import/Export manual. Andy
From: Alexander Sirotkin [at Yahoo] [mailto:alex_s_42 at yahoo.com] S-Plus version is 6.1 (on both Linux and Windows), R is 1.8.1. It's Win2K, although I don't think it matters. Thanks. --- "Liaw, Andy" <andy_liaw at merck.com> wrote:
You can help yourself to help us by at least telling us what versions of S-PLUS on Linux the data were created from, the version of S-PLUS you are using under Windows (which version of Windows?) and the version of R you are using. I believe starting in S-PLUS 6.1, the data created by S-PLUS is binary compatible between Linux and Windows versions. Andy
From: Demiurg [at Yahoo] I have some data in the Linux version of S-Plus,
which I can not use
anymore. The program is just broken and won't run.
I'm trying to
find a way to import that data to either Windows
version of S-Plus
(which I have running on my other machine) or R
(Linux or Windows,
it doesn't matter). Unfortunately, nothing seems to work. Windows S-Plus seem to ignore files from Linux
.Data directory
and non of the import ruotines available in R can
handle my data.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
