[R] S+ files

[Robert Gentleman]

Coomaren,
  The only real way to do this is to save the files from S/Splus using 
dump (or dput with a bit more work). This function creates ascii versions
of your data and functions and these can then be read into R using source.
R cannot currently restore S/Splus binary files (this may happen in the
future though). 
  This should make it into the FAQ....
