Hello:
Googling for "Wide characters in print" led me to a discussion that
pushed me to review the "read.table" help page. Careful study there
suggested I try setting "fileEncoding" to something; it suggested I
look at the "Encoding" section in the help file for "file". This
suggested that anything I got to work on my computer might not be
portable.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Spencer

I get "Wide character in print" from trying
read.xls("22_data.xls") in the gdata package, with "22_data.xls"
downloaded from "Varieties_Country_A-E.xls" at
"http://www.reinhartandrogoff.com/data/browse-by-topic/topics/7/":
library(gdata)
read.xls("22_data.xls")
Wide character in print at

I get the same message from xls2sep("22_data.xls").
It's only a comment, so I suppose I could ignore it. However,
it's generated by a function I'm adding to the Ecdat package, and I'd
rather find a way to avoid it. (I suppose I could dump it to sink, but
that's pretty extreme and could mask other problems.)
Thanks,
Spencer
