In S-PLUS, unfortunately, and it is an internal function. (That source is
lightly edited from an S-PLUS document, and not by the authors you cite.)
In R you can make use of read.fwf, provided you have perl installed on your
machine, and provided (<= 0.65.1) that R and the file are installed in
paths without spaces (and you can use the shortnames of such paths to avoid
this).
