R help - Mar 1999 - Can R read NCSA's HDF?

I'm an R newbie, so please forgive if this question has been
asked and answered many times before on this mailing list.  I
can't find anything in the manual (Notes or R), the FAQ or on
CRAN, so...

Has anyone implemented an interface so R can read NCSA's HDF?

There is an HDF5 interface in recent versions of R, at least on Unix.  If
you have libhdf5 in the library path it should be automatically
configured.

The commands are hdf5save() and hdf5load().
