I have a small file of the type that S-PLUS produced and stored in
.Data/ directories back in the days before we used R. I'm fairly sure
it would become a dataframe if read into Ver 3.4 of that august
predecessor to what we use now. (It was Solaris in case that makes
any difference.)
AFAIK, the format that S-PLUS uses changed after that, so a current
version would find it unreadable. If that is the case, I could be
searching for an S-language enthusiast/historian who has access to a
suitable version.
If you, gentle reader, or someone you know is such a person, I would
appreciate it if you could use something like write.table to produce a
text file such as a CSV or tab-delimitted.
If you are willing and able, or even better, if there's an easier way,
I'd be very interested to know about it.
TIA
