I can:

> s95 <- as.data.frame(read.spss("~skm/public_html/fsvpage/sundby95.sav"))
> write.table(s95,"foo.txt")
> bar<-read.table("foo.txt",header=TRUE)
> dim(bar)
[1] 2742  323
> dim(s95)
[1] 2742  323

(all.equal() gives a few diffs but that's because factor levels are
in non-alphabetical order in s95)
