"read.spss()" does not exists in the plain R,
it requires the correct package "foreign package" ...

A simple solution would be to export the data from Spss
to CSV format and then read something with

scan() or read.table()  functions

But if not possible to export the foreign package is the right way to
go.

try ?scan or ?read.table parameters .
