[R] disaggregate frequency table into flat file

[maiya]

sorry, my mistake!
the data frame should read:
orig<-as.data.frame.table(orig)
orig
 Var1 Var2 Freq
1    A    A   40
2    B    A    5
3    A    B   30
4    B    B   25

but basicaly i would simply like a sample of the original matrix ( which is
a frequency table/contingency table/crosstabulation)

hope this is clearer now!
