I've just installed S-Plus 2000, alongside S-Plus 4.5 R3, on my
NT 4.0 SP5 intel box. Now I must learn to deal with the new Object
Explorer. WHile it is probably a Good Thing, I have some legacy databases
from S-Plus 4.5. I'd like to get the Object Explorer to more or less
emulate the old Object Browser, since I used it for all manner of things
such as keeping track of data frams, matrices, lists and vectors. I have
a (too large) data base that is part of my PhD work. To add a little
pressure, I'm trying to finish up in December.
I can't find much mention of doing this, at least directly, in
the Users Guide. Has anyone else done this with the Object Explorer? If
so, what did you do?
Also, I see that the Object Explorer can keep track of scripts
directly, which is a nice addition. But, my scripts aren't in my _data
directory: they were kept separate, one directory up from that (since they
are simply text files). How do I tell the Object Explorer how to find
those? Lastly, I never used the object browser to keep track of graph
sheets (*.sgr files) because I tend to put those in subdirectores
containing the specific data used to create those results. This overall
strategy may have been a mistake. Accepting that, is there any way to
tell the Object Explorer how to find any of those as well?
