[R] write table in ascii

[Jeff Newmiller]

I would bet the problem is end-of-line convention. This is a very old problem of text file conversion that has many solutions, none of which should be addressed by R. Rather, you should use any of the many standard file transfer mechanisms that understand EOL issues in text files, rather than transferring the data as if it were binary data. Email is one such mechanism, FTP is another. Many text editors can also fix this for you. It is possible to fix it in R, but that is a very bad approach. Google is your friend.
