[R] error open .RData

Hi

Your .Rdata file is probably corrupted. Unless you have a working 
copy of it elsewhere or sources of your data together with history 
of your commands you are probably in deep trouble .Rdata is a 
binary format and it is not recommended to safe and reliable saving 
of your work as you have only limited, if any, possibilities to 
recover it if anything goes wrong.

I usually have all my important source data in txt or xls format and 
I frequently save history in separate files (on daily basis or 
sometimes several times a day) to be able to repeat everything I 
have done.

Cheers
Petr
