I saw a reort on R-help (without answer) about not being able to load old workspaces (.RData files) in 1.9.0alpha. I have seen the same problem with some of my workspace, although most of them loads without problems. (rw1090alpha as of 17.03, windows XP). Why will some workspaces not load? Kjetil Halvorsen

Can you try to put together a small example that illustrates it? The easiest way is probably to start with a workspace that doesn't load, then (in 1.8.1) delete half of the contents, check if it'll load or not, and repeat until you get a small example that we can try. It would be easiest if you can give me R commands to create a workspace in 1.8.1 that I won't be able to load in 1.9.0, but I'll take a binary if you give me a way to pick it up from you. (It's kind of hard to receive binaries by email lately, because of all the virus protection in place...) Duncan Murdoch
Is this that they have references to namespaces that no longer exist? That's due to an error in creating some objects, and without further details it is hard to pin down. You will probably need to dump those objects under 1.8.1 and recreate them under 1.9.0.

(That is not a rhetorical question!) `a reort ... same problem' -- is it possible to be vaguer? -- Brian D.
