[R] Fwd: R SOFTWARE

[david.jessop at ubs.com]

HI

The problem is the file is called "limestone.dat.txt".  In Explorer in
Windows you should go to Tools, Folder Options and under View you should
find an option "Hide Extensions for known file types" - turn this off
and then press Apply to all folders.  Then you'll see the real file
name. 

It's also good to do this as it's a simple way to avoid running programs
you don't want to run. 

HTH
