Here is an example of how to create the init files:

x <- read.table(textConnection("             PA1      PA2       PA3     PB1
j=1           12        2         1        5
j=2           10        3         2        4
j=3           11        4         3        6"), header=TRUE)
closeAllConnections()
for (i in 1:nrow(x)){
    outfile <- file(paste("init.", i, ".txt", sep=''), "w")
    for (j in colnames(x)){
        writeLines(paste(j, '=', x[i,j], sep=''), outfile)
    }
    close(outfile)
}
This will create a file that will look like this:

> readLines('init.1.txt')
[1] "PA1=12" "PA2=2"  "PA3=1"  "PB1=5"
