The iris.R in the website and the iris.R i get from dump("iris",file="iris.R")
from R 2.1.0 W XP are different (the file from dump() describes the factors using 
structure(as.integer(c()),.Label=c(),class="factor") 
whereas the file in the website uses 
gl=(,,label=c()),
but the difference did not matter. I wanted to emulate the file format in a txt 
*.R file with my own data and i could do it with the most helpful advice by you 
and Uwe. Thank you!
