I'm puzzled by the discourse in this thread. Briefly, dput() and dget() seem to work just fine for me.
I tried > junk <- list(x=rnorm(20),y=sample(1:100,12,TRUE)) > dput(junk,"junk.dat") in Splus (Version 6.1.2 Release 2 for Sun SPARC, SunOS 5.6 : 2002) and then in R > junk <- dget("junk.dat") R version: platform sparc-sun-solaris2.9 arch sparc os solaris2.9 system sparc, solaris2.9 status major 1 minor 9.1 year 2004 month 06 day 21 language R There were no complaints, and typing ``junk'' in the R window and in the Splus window appeared to produce indentical results. So what's the problem? cheers, Rolf Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tony Plate wrote: > Have you tried following the advice in the R Data Import/Export manual?
