I have a small file of the type that S-PLUS produced and stored in .Data/ directories back in the days before we used R. I'm fairly sure it would become a dataframe if read into Ver 3.4 of that august predecessor to what we use now. (It was Solaris in case that makes any difference.)
AFAIK, the format that S-PLUS uses changed after that, so a current version would find it unreadable. If that is the case, I could be searching for an S-language enthusiast/historian who has access to a suitable version. If you, gentle reader, or someone you know is such a person, I would appreciate it if you could use something like write.table to produce a text file such as a CSV or tab-delimitted. If you are willing and able, or even better, if there's an easier way, I'd be very interested to know about it.
