title: Opening RData objects
body: <p>I am trying to open an RData object that I downloaded from github, using the load function.
  I have tried in a few versions of R (going back to 3.4.0 and 4.2.0) and receive the same error message, pasted below.
  Thanks!</p>
  <pre><code>Error in load(paste0(mydir, &quot;/&quot;, loadDir, &quot;/&quot;, ssn.folder, &quot;/object.RData&quot;)) : 
    bad restore file magic number (file may be corrupted) -- no data loaded
  In addition: Warning message:
  file ‘object.RData’ has magic number 'versi'
    Use of save versions prior to 2 is deprecated 
  </code></pre>
