[R] appending objects to file created with save()

[Jannis]

Dears,


is there a way to append R objects similar to the function save() to a binary file that already consists some previously saved R objects?

I browsed the mailing list archive and only found some suggestions that include reading in the old file first and then saving the new objects together with the old ones. This would not be handy for me as my data is rather large.

I have tried dump() but this does not seem to compress my data.


Cheers
