Write a package for it. It's not overkill, it's using the tools the way they were designed to be used. Not all packages need to be submitted to CRAN, you can have a package for your own use. It gives you a way to organize your code and documentation, numerous code checking tools, namespaces, all sorts of good stuff.

Re: [R] R modules
You could have a master file that sources the rest:
source("A.R")
source("B.R")
or you could save the function in a workspace and just load it back in;
however, at some point I would move that all to a package. I typically
will create a package for myself even if I have no intention of distributing
it since it nicely puts together all the source and documentation and the
checking tools are helpful to improve the QA.
Its a bit of work to figure it all out the first time but once you
are over that hump its worth it.

[R] R modules
Hi All, I'd like to know what is the best way to organize R code in multiple modules= and files. The R code we are writing is too much for a single file. Besides= , there are a lot of reusable functions we'd like to factor out. But writing= a package for that is quite an over-kill and might be too inflexible. So what is the best way to organize R code into multiple files and reusable= modules?
