I find myself needing to write R data frames to S-Plus (sdd) forma to ship to clients. Currently I save the R data into text files and import into S-Plus to form sdd file. I would very much like to skip the S-Plus stage if possible (for a variety of silly reasons shipping the text files is not an answer.) --- Pretty good endorsement of R eh?, I own S-plus and want to avoid using it in favor of R. I would consider scriptable non-S-plus data conversion utilities. I know that the foreign package allows one to read S-Plus files in R, but seemingly there is not a 'write.S' function. Any one tackled this issue already? ========================================Michaell Taylor, PhD
