Read a LISST data file.
The file should contain 42 columns, with no header. If there are fewer than
42 columns, an error results. If there are more, only the first 42 are
used. Note that read.oce() can recognize LISST files by their
having a name ending in ".asc" and by having 42 elements on the first
line. Even so, it is preferred to use the present function, because it
gives the opportunity to specify the year and timezone, so that times can be
calculated properly.

year = 0,

a connection or a character string giving the name of the file to load.

a character value that indicates the encoding to be used for
this data file, if it is textual. The default value for most functions is
"latin1", which seems to be suitable for files containing text written in
English and French.
