Subject: Restoring an S object that was data-dumped
In-Reply-To: <400D70A3.5090506@pdf.com>
Obviously, it was data.restore() that produced the error
below. However, I think S-PLUS 5 might not be supported by
data.restore() in the `foreign' package since the docs there
say it can only read objects from S-PLUS versions 3.x and
4.x (on Unix).
