This seems to get me something (the binary format)  but what do I do with it?

Thanks to everyone for the help.

Results:  Original dd file on my hard drive:

mydd <- structure(list(AUA9363 = structure(c(1L, 1L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 4L,
4L, 4L, 6L, 5L, 5L), .Label = c("AUA9733", "AUA9734", "JAF104",
"KLM686", "KLM744", "KLM783"), class = "factor"), OE.LNQ = structure(c(5L,
5L, 5L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 4L), .Label = c("  OO-TUC",
