Brian Ripley has uploaded a revised version of our Rstreams package to CRAN <http://www.cran.r-project.org>. Rstreams provides routines to read external binary files. Additions: data.restore: like the S-PLUS function of the same name, reads S-PLUS data.dump files getstreameol: detects the end of line marker in a text file readlines: reads lines from a text file Improvements: readSfile: can now read a larger range of S-PLUS binary files Numerous small changes to the help files A few bug fixes The data.restore and readSfile functions can handle many S-PLUS objects, but by no means all. I'm still interested in improving them.
