I have no idea what you mean by binary/text SAS XPORT formats. R
implements the XPORT format as described in
http://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/technote/ts140.html
and that definitely is not a text format.

If it would be possible for you to provide me with a sample XPORT
format file I may try to see why we are having a problem. However,
I may not find the time to look at it before January.
