How to save files #28

Closed kellijohnson-NOAA closed 3 years ago

PacFIN data files are distributed as .dmp files, but I don't really know what this means or how they differ from .RData files. Is this a file size thing or is there another reason why you use dmp instead of something else? And, what should we use going forward?

'.dmp' was an Splus extension, it's the same as '.RData', since it's created by save().  I have been switching over to .RData for a year or so.

Thanks John. I will save everything as .RData files.
