Martin's reply to Jean-Francois' question is pretty complete, but I suspect what
JF and other new users want is 'how to transfer the *whole* of my Splus .Data
(or _Data on PC) workspace into R' rather than just certain functions/data.
In correspondence some months ago Peter Dalgaard and I came up with
Splus:
> dump(objects(),"dumpfile")
R:
> source("dumpfile")
or
OS-prompt% R < dumpfile
It does not always work, though, because R and S are not the same language, eg
not all your Splus functions will work as-is. In particular, before doing the
Splus dump, you should rm(last.warning,last.dump) and anything else source() is
going to have trouble parsing.
