[R] S objects

[Duncan Murdoch]

The best way is (in S) to dump(c('x','y')), and then (in R) to
source() the file.  However, if that's not possible (e.g. you no
longer have access to S), you can try the readSfile() function in the
Rstreams package.  It could definitely read your examples of x and y
below, but sometimes falls down on more complicated objects.

It's available on CRAN, in the "devel" group of packages.
