Hi

I have a problem reading files from Windows... these files have, instead 
of NA on last column. special ending '<a0>' which makes problem... This 
problem does not appear while reading the same file in Windows!
Try:
read.csv("http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6113358/prob.csv")

Could you please tell me if you also have this problem? I have tried 
either by cleaning the file on Linux (fromdos, recode...) or setting 
different encodings... did'nt work!

Any idea? Should be obvious  feel :-(

Thanks!!

Matthieu
