Just to follow up on Dan's code - once you have a data.frame listing column
positions, then it's just a couple steps to download the file...
x <- data.frame(name=c('caseid', 'nbrnaliv', 'babysex',
'birthwgt_lb','birthwgt_oz','prglength',
'outcome', 'birthord', 'agepreg', 'finalwgt'),
begin = c(1
frame ( spssDataSet )
(Not tested. Adapted from working code.)
memisc documentation has more info about doing this and how it works.

Hi Eric - after seeing the difficulty of inputting this kind of data into R I
decided to use your method. It was rather painless using PSPP to do what I
wanted - however, how do I now create an SPSS file and then use the memisc
package to read it in?

I've been trying to get some data from the National Survey for Family Growth
into R - however, the data is in a .dat file and the data I need doesn't
have any spaces or commas separating fields - rather you have to look into
the codebook and what number of digits along the line the data you need is
