Can anyone help me write a R data frame as a SAS data set?

Question

In R, I have used the write.foreign() function from the foreign library in order to write a data frame as a SAS data set.

I'm not much of a SAS user either, but I've used write.xport() before and it's worked fine. My crude understanding is that there are two types of SAS files, internal ones and XPORT files. The XPORT ones are the ones that are more compatible across different versions, architectures, etc.
