R help - Jul 2004 - bad restore file magic number

I'm running R 1.9.1 and trying to load a macro I've written.  It gives
the e
Error: bad restore file magic number (file may be corrupted)-- no data
loaded

what does this error mean, and how can I fix this problem.

thanks,
jordan

You probably want to use source() here, if you have the code in a
file.  The load() command is for use with stuff saved via the
save() command.
