Do you mean changing R so that when reading a "B\n" serialized stream, a format code read as 0x02000000 or 0x03000000 would mean regular formats 2 or 3 but byte-swapped? That would be backwards-compatible, and we probably weren't going to have >= 65536 format versions anyway... -- Best regards, Ivan ______________________________________________ R-package-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-package-devel
