What is the equivalent R command to compress these files in my project

Michael,

if you use
R CMD build --resave-data
to build the tar archive, the versions therein are recompressed.
But AFAIK, in StatET, R CMD build builds a separate .tar.gz file under c:/eclipse, and does not affect
the project directory where these files are stored and sync'd with R-Forge.

Otherwise, you can also open the files and resave them via save() and appropriate arguments.
I exported the .rda files to c:/R/data and ran

> load("gfrance.rda")
> load("gfrance85.rda")
> save(gfrance, file="gfrance.RData", compress="xz")
Error in xzfile(file, "wb", compression = 9) : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In xzfile(file, "wb", compression = 9) :
  cannot initialize lzma encoder, error 5

Why doesn't this work?

> save(gfrance, file="gfrance.RData", compress=TRUE)

The above works, but only compresses a 300K file to 299K

Or use resaveRdaFiles() in package tools to runn it on a whole folder automatically.
