Three things you might try using R (and show the results in this email thread):
* load(verbose=TRUE, ".RData") # see how far it gets before stopping * file.info(normalizePath(".RData")) # is this the file you think it is? * dput(readBin(".RData", what=raw(), n=100)) The last will print some hex numbers that others may be able to interpret. E.g., it may show that this .RData is not from a call to save() or save.image(). -Bill On Thu, Dec 23, 2021 at 11:19 AM Rich Shepard <rshep...@appl-ecosys.com> wrote: > Each time I finish with a session I save the image.
