Hey all,

I get a warning about an unsupported file type in the data directory during
R CMD check (for R 2.13.1) if I use the save function to create an Rdata,
but if I save the same object to a .rda file, no warning.

Section 1.1.5 (pg 11 of the pdf) of the Writing R Extensions manual (2.13.1)
appears to say that .Rdata files should be fine:

" Data files can have one of three types as indicated by their extension:
plain R code (‘.R’ or
‘.r’), tables (‘.tab’, ‘.txt’, or ‘.csv’, see ?data for the file formats,
and note that ‘.csv’ is not
the standard14 CSV format), or save() images (‘.RData’ or ‘.rda’). "

Am I misunderstanding some difference between .rda and .Rdata files in terms
of the save calls, or should R CMD check and the extensions manual agree on
this?

Thanks for all your hard work.
~G
