maybe someone else can suggest how to read an object from
the .rdb file using R code.  Internally R uses C code for this.

This function seems to work for me:

# filename: the .rdb file
# offset, size: the pair of values from the .rdx
# type: 'gzip' if $compressed is TRUE, 'bzip2' for 2, 'xz' for 3
readRDB <- function(filename, offset, size, type = 'gzip') {
        f <- file(filename, 'rb')
        on.exit(close(f))
        seek(f, offset + 4)
        unserialize(memDecompress(readBin(f, 'raw', size - 4), type))
}


Thanks, though it didn't work for me.  I get

Error in unserialize(memDecompress(readBin(f, "raw", size - 4), type)) :
  no restore method available

on every object I tried.  However, maybe Dan will have better luck.
