[R] Reading MS Access Database Files?

[Andrew Perrin]

I've never seen any non-Windows software capable of reading Access files
directly, although I'm happy to be corrected on that.  You can, though,
run Access on another machine or on a VMWare/Win4Lin subsystem and then
either attach via RODBC or write the data to some more useful format (say,
tab-delimited) and go from there.
