[R] hdf files

[Katrin Fleischer]

Dear All,

I want to upload data in HDF-file format into R. I have tried the 
package 'hdf5' without success. I presume that my files are in the hdf4 
format and therefore are not readable with this package. I understand 
that its possible to convert hdf4 into hdf5 format using C, but I was 
wondering whether there is an alternative option for importing hdf4 
files into R?

kind regards,
Katrin
