This is the first time you have mentioned "pajek". Is it an R package?  
I was unable to find a package with that name in either CRAN or r- 
forge searching for either source or binary packages. Running a search  
on google I find a windows-only standalone program (with a very cool  
mascot ... I love spiders). So perhaps that is why there are no  
packages for R that show up when searching with a Mac?

"That" is not at all well defined. The use of indefinite pronouns in  
describing computing activities may (as in this case ) lead to  
considerable ambiguity. If you read the Posting Guide,,, ??? ,,,  I  
think you will find that the advice to posters is that they describe  
their efforts at searching and in their  use of code with more detail  
than you have so far offered:

Please do read it.

Such was not at all clear. Code is usually more effective in  
demonstrating efforts. Do you have any example data?
