Hi Glenn, Generally data files are stored in the 'data' directory. If you visit Hadley's R packages site on the data page (http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/data.html) this is described quite clearly. You can use the devtools package functions like `use_data` to have data files properly stored in your package. Cheers, Charles

As Charles said, you can put them in the data directory, but there are restrictions on the type of files that can be there -- see Writing R Extensions. An alternative is to put them in a directory with a name of your choice below the "inst" directory. (Don't choose a name that conflicts with a standard one.) On installation, it will be copied up a level, and the system.file() function will be able to find it. Duncan Murdoch
