[Rd] (PR#14012)

[sje30 at damtp.cam.ac.uk]

I think Rscript has a problem running files that have mac encodings
for newline (^M rather than ^J on linux).  If I source the file within
R, it works okay:

> source('j.R')
[1] "MEA_data/sernagor_new/CRX_P7_1.txt"

But if I run the file using Rscript on a linux box I get a strange
error message: 

$ Rscript --vanilla j.R
"
Execution halted

The example script j.R is at http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/sje30/j.R
rather than attaching it here.  I don't think there is anything
specific about the script though apart from the line endings.
