R help - Jan 2011 - How to use S-Plus functions in R

Hi

I am very new to R.  I used to work in S-Plus a lot but that was years ago. 
I wrote a large number of functions that I now want to view and edit in R. 
I know I have to tell R where the functions are but I have no idea how.  The
functions are stored on my laptop's c-drive.  I tried everything I could
find e.g. library(myfilepath), source(myfilepath) etc. but nothing seems to
work.

Save their source as text, and source that.  R can't read the binary 
S-Plus objects for recent S-Plus versions.

Since R and S-Plus are not identical, you may need some modifications to 
the functions to get them to work in R:  so test carefully.
