R help - Apr 2001 - Pretty printing of frequency and other tables

I frequently use an S-Plus function print.char.matrix for
printing boxed tables.  I use LaTeX even more frequently,
for which I (and Rich Heiberger) have a series of functions
that will be in the Hmisc library in R before too long.
[I have seen some other interesting functions for latex
already in R.]  But it would still be nice to have
an equivalent of print.char.matrix in R for ordinary
printing.  If anyone knows of anything close to it
please let me know.

There isn't an exact equivalent. write.table, format, and formatC
seem to provide the functionality. In particular, write.table is what I
use for producing LaTeX tabulars.
