There is a way to do this ?from within R, atleast in Windows XP I have tried this and it certainly works , The method ?is very different from the OS based folder protection route, ?however making available such a method in the open forum would only kill the very spirit of R. But if someone is able to convince me the genuineness of his reasons to achieve such a purpose, I might decide to provide selective service to achieve the same.

A possible approach is to put the script into an extension package. This does not prevent the user to modify the script, but makes it almost impossible to change it inadvertently. Petr Savicky.
On Windows at least, you could set it as "read only". The user can save an edited copy of it but cannot modify the original script. Le 4/11/2011 09:36, Petr Savicky a ?crit :
