[R-sig-Geo] Define aliases in shapefiles

[Arnaud Mosnier]

Dear useRs,

I am searching for a way to break the 10 character limit of the field names
in shapefiles created using for example the writeOGR function from the
rgdal package.

On way could be to define aliases for field names, but I am not aware of a
function allowing me to do that.

Any suggestions ?

Cheers,

Arnaud
