I did say so in that thread: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2007-June/046061.html You can do much the same in R via iconv("", "C", sub="byte"), provided you can read the file in (it may not be representable in your current locale, but you could run R in a Latin-1 locale, if your OS has one). -- Brian D.
