[R] Magic Number Error Message

[armstrwa]

Hi all,

When I attempt to run a script, I keep getting the error message shown
below.  I have seen from searching that the "Use of save versions prior to 2
is deprecated" could be an error resulting from a permissions problem, but I
have been unable to find anything describing the "file has magnic number '#
Coh'".  The file I am attempting to read into the script is a text file that
contains 3 columns of data, if that makes a difference.  Does this seem to
be a permissions problem, as well, or is there something else going wrong?

I'm sorry, but I can't post the script file because the colleague who gave
it to me asked that I not distribute it yet, but it has worked for him, so I
don't think that there is something wrong with the script itself -- it seems
like there is something wrong on my end.

Thank you for your help.

Billy
