I don't see any particular wrong with your code, so it seems like
R.utils doesn't handle your 'file' / 'tmp' pathnames correctly.
However, I cannot reproduce this (know what 'file' and 'tmp' are would
help), so I cannot fix it either.
Either way, instead of using low-level decompressFile(), you
Uwe, thanks very much. How silly of me. It was because my code creates full
pathnames except if the first char of a filename is “/“ or “~”, etc. I have
never really used windows/msdos (went from 1970s unix to OSX) and so I was
being very silly. Dan.
