I have just started to use SPLUS 6 on UNIX. There was a function under
SPLUS 3.4 (and under R) called 'str' that would print out the structure of
an object. Is there an equivalent function available under SPLUS 6? This
was very useful in debugging programs.
Also, I notice that 'scan' seems to use twice as much CPU as it did under
3.4. I am reading in a file with 2 million line with 4 integers. It used
to take about 40 seconds under 3.4, and now takes 90 seconds under 6.0.
SPLUS 6.0 also seems to be missing the option on 'scan' where you would
specify that an object in the 'what' list would be read in as an integer by
specifying 'name=integer(0)'. This was also a problem in 5.0. Does anyone
know if this is now a 'feature' or will it be fixed?
