[R] S <-> R

[Rolf Turner]

I'm puzzled by the discourse in this thread.  Briefly, dput() and
dget() seem to work just fine for me.

I tried

	> junk <- list(x=rnorm(20),y=sample(1:100,12,TRUE))
	> dput(junk,"junk.dat")

in Splus (Version 6.1.2 Release 2 for Sun SPARC, SunOS 5.6 : 2002)

and then in R

	> junk <- dget("junk.dat")

R version:

platform sparc-sun-solaris2.9
arch     sparc               
os       solaris2.9          
system   sparc, solaris2.9   
status                       
major    1                   
minor    9.1                 
year     2004                
month    06                  
day      21                  
language R

There were no complaints, and typing ``junk'' in the R window
and in the Splus window appeared to produce indentical results.

So what's the problem?
