[R] read.spss problem

[Davia Cox]

Hello,
I am having trouble reading an spss file into R. I have reset my  
working directory to the folder where this file is stored. This is  
what I've typed into R and the error message I received:

+ getwd()
[1] "/Users/daviacox/Graduate School/PLS 801"
 > read.spss("norwil.spss")
Error in read.spss("norwil.spss") : error reading portable-file  
dictionary
In addition: Warning message:
Expected variable count record

Please help, I don't have SPSS on my computer (I am re-analyzing some  
data for a statistics project) so I can't alter the file that way.

Thanks again for your help.
