    Hello,
    
        The way to do this is to export the data as another file.  One is to 
    export as a SAS file, read it into SAS to create a permanent data set, and 
    then use sas.get to read it into S-plus.  This is the long way and only 
    useful if you need the SAS data set.  The other is to export as a comma 
    delimited file (can't check it now, but I'm sure it's there).  This can be 
    read with read.table very easily (use sep="," argument).
    
    Good luck,
    
    Chuck Kincaid

Hi,
    
Quick question: Anybody got a nice mechanism for reading Epi Info files 
into S-plus? 
    
They are ASCII files and could be hacked, but it is non-trivial and 
error-prone... Or I could download Epi Info and see if it can write out 
a friendlier format - but I don't speak Epi Info!
    
Anything easier before I reinvent wheels?
    
Steve
