[R] RE: read.spss warning message with 12.0 sav files

[Baize, Harold]

As a follow up to my last posting. The read.spss 
function returns variable names truncated to 
eight characters when reading a SPSS 12.0 sav 
file with long variable names. 

The read.spss function adds ".A", ".B", etc. 
to each additional variable with the same 
first eight characters in the name. A viable 
solution, but keeping the full name would be 
a nice improvement for an updated function. 
IMHO.
