[R] Transpose a dataset

[Rolf Turner]

You mean ***transform*** a dataset, not ``transpose''.  Transposition
is something done to a matrix.  If you do not get your terminology
straight, no one can help you.

You may get some mileage out of the reshape() function; possibly you
may need the more elaborate facilities in the reshape package.

	cheers,
