The binary file read/write package is approximately complete now. The only tasks remaining are: - compile the help to put together a compiled package - rewrite the Delphi code in C so it will run on other than Windows machines These are both likely to take me until late August, unless the screaming fans demand it sooner. You can download the package source from my web page, < http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/murdoch/software/Rstreams.zip>. The index file is reproduced here: openstream: Open a file as a stream closestream: Close a stream (or all streams) readint: Read a vector of integers from the stream readfloat: Read a vector of floats from the stream readcomplex: Read a complex vector from the stream readchar: Read a vector of character strings from the stream writeint: Write a vector of integers to the stream writefloat: Write a vector of floats to the stream writecomplex: Write a complex vector to the stream writechar: Write a vector of character strings to the stream seek: Change the current position of the stream truncate: Set the length of the stream copy: Copy from one stream to another allstreams: List all open streams inttostr: Convert integers to hexadecimal (or other base) hexdump: Display a hex dump of a stream readsfile: Read a binary S-PLUS object file -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
