Read S-Plus Database without S-Plus?

Question

I have an old (~1995) .Data database directory from S-Plus. Is there anyway that I can recover some of the objects contained in it without using S-Plus, maybe with R?

Just try to load it in File/Load workspace ...

If it doesn't work, try package {foreign} - functions read.S or data.restore.

Thanks. Somehow I'd overlooked read.S. That worked perfectly. – jseabold Oct 14 '11 at 18:11
