I'm sorry, I overlooked that. If I remember correctly, `dump'
and `source' were already present in R version 1.2.0, the first
version I used, so I just guessed that any problems with it
should be solved by now.

Are `save' and `load' meant as a replacement for `dump' and
`source'? What are the future plans with `dump' and `source',
and with `dput' and `dget'?
