To my knowledge, read.table doesn't round anything, except when running out of bits to store the values in, and 13 decimal places should fit in ordinary double precision variables. Printing the result is another matter. Try playing with the print(mydata, digits=15) and the like. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
