As I said, I believe at least in S-PLUS 6.1, the files in _Data are binary compatible across platforms. (As Prof. Ripley says, if that's the `data' you meant.) If the S-PLUS on Linux is so broken, and the Windows version can't read the data, then there's a good chance the data is corrupted somehow.
And as BDR said, your best bet is Insightful Tech Support. Short of that, try S-news. You're not likely to get useful help on R-help. The capabilities of reading S-PLUS files in R are limited to those available in the `foreign' package, and mentioned in the R Data Import/Export manual.
