Unfortunately, I don't have access to S-PLUS :'( , the S-PLUS file dump
was provided to me to load in R. Here are the lines in the S-PLUS dump
surrounding 1895:
> 1892 .Label

The problem is with the embedded spaces (whitespace?) characters in
1895. If I remove the spaces, i.e., change it to:
JohnsonPartnersLLC
the line is successfully loaded, and the next error that comes up is
another Label with embedded spaces.
Thanks for your help.
