The development verison now uses a new save file format. The previous format used through R 1.3.1 can still be read and can also be written by sypplying an explicit version argument to save(). The new format supports saving some new internal types, reduces the size of saved code files, and forms the basis for a more flexible serialization mechanism. A C interface to this mechanism, which should be considered experimental and subject to change, is available in the devel version. An (even more) experimental R interface is described in notes available from developer.r-project.org (search for serialization). luke -- Luke Tierney University of Minnesota Phone: 612-625-7843 School of Statistics Fax: 612-624-8868 313 Ford Hall, 224 Church St. S.E. email: luke@stat.umn.edu Minneapolis, MN 55455 USA WWW: stat.umn.edu -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
