Professor Ripley, Thanks for your help. The file was indeed generated on MacOS, which was unknown to me till I checked with the sender.

My guess is that this is a MacOS file, in which case the problem is PR#2469 which is long solved. Please try R-patched or a beta of R-1.7.0.
From the NEWS file in R-patched
BUG FIXES
o The fix to PR#2396 broke read.table() on files with CR line
endings. (PR#2469) Separate problem with this on Carbon Mac
build fixed as well.
The other workaround is to use files in the native file format ....
BTW, `_' is deprecated, so please don't use it in postings, especially in
the unreadable way shown here.
