R 1.2.1 - read.table - factors problem...

Jim Lemon 
This _may_ be another example of the "space" problem.  Numeric fields
with embedded spaces have often been converted to factors by read.table
(although I confess to not having the latest version).  I usually use

tr -d '\40' < oldfile > newfile

to remove the spaces and have no problem.
