R help - Jun 2009 - Converting S-plus project folders to R

I have many S-plus project folders that I need to convert to R workspaces.
For the smaller project folders (< 200MB), using "data.dump" with
"oldStyle
= T" and "data.restore" (in the foreign package) within R seems
to work
fine. However, I have several project folders that are quite large (~ 4GB).
When I use this procedure to try to convert these project folders, R always
crashes when I perform the "data.restore" command. Does anyone have
any
suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave Bosley

No suggestion, just to be sure:
I hope R gives an error message rather than a crash?
