I never experienced such a problem with R 2.5.0.
The latest version of R is 2.6.1 (released today), but I doubt if you're using that yet. It has the same limit as Windows on filename length. 2.6.0 had a bug which meant long filenames could cause a crash. This was repaired a couple of weeks ago: http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-2-6-branch/2007/11/10#c2007-11-10 Duncan Murdoch ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
