R help - Mar 2012 - TXT-file with R to SPS-file

Hey, 

for a statistical analysis I have to work with some micro dates in SPSS. 
I only have txt-files though (any further details concerning the format or
something like that, I don?t have. I can only see a lot of numbers when I
open it). On the same page I found another Download especially for R. I
downloaded those files to, they have names like: dicPNAD2006.R or
dicPNAD2006supl.R. 
I have the R software ((R 2.14.2 GUI 1.50 Leopard build 64-bit (6126)) on my
Mac. But I can?t read the data or I don?t know the right orders. I also have
an Readme File (it is in portuguese) but for me it?s too unexact. But I
think the main orders are:

le.pesquisa(dicionario, pathname.in, pathname.out=NA, codigos, nomes=NA,
quant=NA,
tbloco=2000)

as well as

library(IBGEPesq)
data(dicPNAD2005)
caminho.microdados <-
file.path("E:","DADOS","PES2005.TXT")
dados <- le.pesquisa(dicionario=dicpes2005, pathname.in=caminho.microdados,
pathname.out="dados.Rdata",
codigos=c("V4703","V4704","V4705","V4707","V4729"),
nomes=c("ANOSEST","CONDATV","CONDOCP","HTRAB","PESO"),
quant=408148)

my software dosen?t know the le.pesquisa variable and I Don?t know how to
register it. 
The Files I got on the following homepage (DADOS holds the txt-files and
LEITURA EM R the .R files)

I?d be very thankful for help!
Greetings

Amelie

The URL you provided does not work (at least I am denied access), so it will be
difficult to help you read the data.
