R help - Sep 2003 - R/Chemometrics/reading .spa files into R.

Maybe someone out there has done this already .... (which would save me some
time):

For a repetitive chemometric task I need to retrieve spectra from a Nicolet IR
acquisition system into R and analyze them there. The raw spectra are in files
ending in the extension .spa. I can use the Omnic software to export them to
.csv, but I would like to skip this step since it is manual. Has anyone of you
written either a command-line utility which can convert .spa files to .csv or
.txt, or has anyone written an R-utility to read .spa files directly into R?
Thanks in advance for any lead.
