[R] Plink bed files

[Robert Gentleman]

Hi Frederico,
   You will likely have more luck asking about Bioinformatics related 
questions on the Bioconductor list,

you might look at the rtracklayer package which can import bed files, if 
they really are bed files, and otherwise you would have to get the file 
format and write your own parser.
