R help - Feb 2002 - row.names in read.table()

Hi,

I was trying to read in the following data set by using:
  gas <- read.table("gas.tab", header = T)
when I got the error message:
  Error in "row.names<-.data.frame"(*tmp*, value = row.names) : 
          duplicate row.names are not allowed

Any help are appreciated.

Thanks,

Ko-Kang Wang

Whoops.  Problem solved.  I have one extra columns of data at the end
(though I don't know why the error message did not say that, but said
about row.names!).

Thanks,
