[R] Binary file reading problem

[Jonathan Williams]

I am trying to read data from a binary file. 
The file has a header of mixed data modes:-

Bytes		Length	Mode
1-4			4	Integer
5-6			2	integer
7-8			2	integer
......
15-18			4	integer
19-20			2	integer
......
29-32			4	integer
33-34			2	integer
35			1	character
36			1	character
37			1	character
38			1	character
39-42			4	integer
43-44			2	integer
......

I cannot find a way to set a file pointer,
so that I can set readBin to read each datum
individually. 

I'd be very grateful for any help with this.
