read.S is used to read S3 files (S-Plus 4 and older,
not S-Plus 6 or newer) from the binary in the _Data directory.
For example

y <- read.S("c:/HOME/rmh/503.f99/_Data/y")


data.restore is used to read S3 .sdd data.dump files.
The S3 part means that S-Plus 7 users must force the oldStyle
data.dump.

## S-Plus 7
data.dump("y", oldStyle=TRUE)

## R
data.restore("c:/HOME/hh-user/dumpdata")
