[R] Assistance with data import from Statistica

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Unfortunately the dataload web site is down because
dataload is no longer longer being offered.  There is
a commercial offering called Stat Transfer (see
www.stattransfer.com) but I have never used it so don't
know more.

could handle *.Rdata files, too , but isn't downloadable from the original 
site at present!?
