Subject: [R] Importing S-Plus data sets into R


Dear All

I apologise for such a simplistic question.  However I am having immense
trouble getting my S-Plus data set into R.  I have attempted
data.dump/data.restore though I am unable to get it to work for me.  The
error I am getting in R is :
Error in seek(s) : no applicable method for "seek"

Is this the best way to import S-Plus datasets or is there another
suggestion that I could try?  My data set is 284 variables with
1461rows.

Thank-you for your help in advance,

Trudi

That would mask the system function data.frame!

It's easier to use dump and source to transfer in source format.  If using
a current version of S-PLUS (5.x or 6.x), do use oldStyle=T when dumping.
