Binary data formats
Packages hdf5 and netCDF on CRAN provide experimental interfaces to NASA's HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format, see http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/) and to UCAR's netCDF data files (network Common Data Form, see http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/), respectively.
Both of these are systems to store scientific data in array-oriented ways, including descriptions, labels, formats, units, .... HDF5 also allows groups of arrays, and the R interface maps lists to HDF5 groups, and can write numeric and character vectors and matrices.
The R interface can only read netCDF, not write it (yet). ---
Well, the yet seems no longer valid, package ncdf (and apparently clim.pact also) are able to write netCDF.
cheers,
Angel

I am looking for a package to read and write NetCDF files. NetCDF package says it can only read, not write. Another package for the standard binary file format?
The package clim.pact has the functions r2cdf and retrieve.nc
I haven't tried them, but the documentation says they are for NetCDF writing and reading. Hope that helps...
