Error in read.spss() for .por files
...ccessfully read the file into R I downloaded spss, saved the data as
.dat tab-delimited, and then used read.table(). The point is that spss
successfully read the same .por data file (the Polity II data freely
available from ICPSR) that R couldn't read. So, I assume this is a bug in
R.
