WA I have a function XOLD() from a nearly verbatim port of legacy

WA switched the package to the XNEW(), but for historical reasons would
WA like to retain the XOLD() somewhere in the package directory
WA structure. An assertion through a README or other will point to this
WA historical function and the output from the two should be numerically
WA equal.
WA Placement in package/R is not an option as XOLD() no longer
WA constitutes a true user level function, would package/inst/legacyR or
WA something like that be suitable to the R community?
Yes, put it somewhere inside pkg/inst/
(and end the filename in *.R).
A user of your **installed** package will be able
to use
system.file(legacy.R, package = pkg)
e.g.,
as source(system.file(legacy.R, package = pkg))
WA Thanks for the guidance. . .
you're welcome.
