Thanks to Uwe Ligges, simply putting library(xxx) dump(ls(pos=2)),file="xxx.r") gives a file with all the 'pure R' function in a package This just solved my problem, as an added curiosity or just for completion sake, if the package 'xxx' has some C/Fortran code , ie an /lib/xxx.dll in Windows, will Rcmd INSTALL xxx work when xxx has a R; man and lib subfolders? not a src subfolder since I have the dll not the original C/for Thanks Heberto Ghezzo

The only solution is to decompress the > pair .rdb .rdx if it is possible? In that case you can load the package and save all functions from that environment into a new package. The tool to load the serialized databases is lazyLoad() - or more low level lazyLoadDBfetch(), both not intended to be called by a user.
