[R] Memory Cap

[Wesley Roberts]

Hi all

I am trying to use R for some data editing using the "array" function to 
write binary data to a text file. I realise that R was not designed for 
this purpose but I am no C programmer and would prefer to use R (as I 
know how to do it and hate c). Basically I get the following error.

Error: cannot allocate vector of size 1634069 kb

It seems that R is not keen on allocating memory to large arrays. I have 
attached the *.R file. Is there anyway that I could turn off the memory 
cap and allow R to take a larger set of data files.

Thanks Wesley
