incidence and adjacency matrix conversion

Thanks, David. I tried converting my rectangular matrix to a network 
object and then back to a square matrix. This works for a small 
artificial dataset (e.g. 2x5), but when I try this on my 1790x45 or 
transposed 45x1790 matrix, R keeps working for a couple of minutes and 
then crashes completely without having saved any data first. I assume 
something is wrong with my data?

Cheers
Philip
