And how are we supposed to help without knowing your version of R, the version of 'foreign', anything about your system (or you) and without access to the file?

Please do consult the posting guide and supply enough information that we have a chance of helping you.

Hello,

I've a .por file from 1998. I've tried to read it with

library(foreign)
read.spss("mhp_hu.por")

at this point R simply stops working and my whole system is close to unusable

I've found one related thread, but even there no real solution was given
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2007-February/125071.html

That is not about .por files.

Unfortunately, I have no SPSS, and I can't convert it to txt or any
other format. I was trying to use PSPP as well, but I could not
understand how to open a file in it. :(

Does any of you have an idea?

Thanks, Viktor
