Hi

Reading the help for ?unz I was wondering if I can read data into R from within 
an zipfile that is on some website, like maybe:

dtaa = 
read.table(unz("http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/examples/alsm/alsm.zip","Ch01pr19.dat"))

Thanks for letting me know if you came acros such a thing before.

Toby
