[R] reading dates

[Suchandra Thapa]

    Is there any simple way of reading dates from a file?  I'm currently
reading dates in as characters and then converting them to POSIXlt objects.  
However I would like to know if there is a way of having read.table or scan
convert a field to a date-time class.
