R 3.2.0
OS X

Colleagues,

Earlier today, I initiated a series of emails regarding SASxport (which was 
removed from CRAN).  David Winsemius proposed downloading the source code and 
installing with the following command:
        install.packages('~/Downloads/SASxport_1.5.0.tar.gz', repos = NULL , 
type="sourceā€)Th

That works and I am grateful to David for his recommendation.  However, the 
package fails on some of the many objects that I attempted to write with:
        write.xport

The error message was:
        Error in nchar(var) : invalid multibyte string 3157

One work-around would be to edit out multibyte strings.  Is there a simple way 
to find and replace them?  Or is there some other clever approach that bypasses 
the problem?
