Assistance with data import from Statistica

I am a new R user attempting to convert files from Statistica to R.  I
can export from Statistica to SPSS .por format, but not to the SPSS .sav
format.  Is there a procedure for easily accomplishing this, which will
allow me to keep variable short and long labels (big surveys LOTS of
time to replace all this work).

Many thanks for sharing your time and knowledge.
