> Error in attach.default("mortalty.003"..:
> Cannot read summary from summary filename
> c:\eigen\splus\splus45\_Data/__sum4.txt
> Dumped

>"mortalty.003" is a directory that I am trying to attach to the search
path.
>There is, as far as I know, nothing new in the directory; I have done this
>attachment many times before without any problem. The text it is trying to
