1I don't think so, read about data formats in R: https://stackoverflow.com/q/21370132/680068 – zx8754 Nov 29 '19 at 07:23

I think this is a great question. Not what you are asking but I would suggest saving the data as plain text and compress it. You can always add that info to the header of the file (and read the first few lines only). – gvegayon Nov 29 '19 at 07:32
