[R] Read SPSS data (*.sav) in R 1.8.0 (ok) and R1.9.1(error)

[Sara Drew]

I have had the same problem (or at least get the same error msg) using the
spss.get() function from Hmisc using R1.9.1 to read an SPSS file. I think
read.spss() from foreign package still works though. Have not tried
spss.get() with any other version of R.

YOu should just be able to use read.spss in the "foreign" package.
