I have a package that will have an sgml file. One of the demos in ./demo will use it. Where should I put it? I tried putting it in ./demo but it did not survive the build so currently I put it in ./inst and it gets copied to the same level as the DESCRIPTION file and the demo gets it from there. Is that right or is there a better choice? I assume I can't use ./data since its not in the form that is directly readable as an R data file.

You can always get to it with system.file().> > ______________________________________________ > R-devel at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel >-- Roger Bivand Economic Geography Section, Department of Economics, Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration, Helleveien 30, N-5045 Bergen, Norway. voice: +47 55 95 93 55; fax +47 55 95 95 43 e-mail: Roger.Bivand at nhh.no

I would probably use a directory "inst/sgml-files" (replace "sgml-files" by your favorite name which is not already used by R like "data") and place the file there. If it is a single file and no second file is on the horizon, then putting it directly into "inst" is also OK. > I assume I can't use ./data since its not in > the form that is directly readable as an R data file. exactly. best, fritz
