iterators : checkFunc with ireadLines

Strike that one sentence in brackets: "[In point of fact, the R Data
Import/Export Manual suggests using perl]", to pre-process data before
loading into R. The manual's recommendation only pertains to large
fixed width formatted files [see #1], whereas Laurent's data is
whitespace-delimited:

read.table( "Laurents.txt")
read.delim( "Laurents.txt", sep="")

Best Regards, Bill.
