Thank you vey much for your suggestion.  Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that 'foreign' will import or work with a *.jnb file from Sigmaplot.  However, maybe I can get the customer to put the data in a format that is supported by 'foreign'. 
 
Thank you again for your suggestion.

Check the package 'foreign'. It can read data from
SPSS,Minitab,SAS,Systat (sigmaplot is part of Systat) etc. I also use Sigmaplot
and an easy workaround is to convert the sigmaplot file to csv or xls file and
then read it into R.
