Read a hemo data file

1	read.hemo(file, monitor=FALSE, debug=FALSE)

`file`	a connection or a character string giving the name of the file to load.
`monitor`	optional boolean, set to `TRUE` to print an indication of each line read.
`debug`	a flag that can be set to `TRUE` to turn on debugging.

Each line of the data file is taken to be a recording of a reading from an instrument, or an event. Elements on these lines are separated with white space (space or tab). The first element is an identifier, the second is a date in the format YYYY-MM-DD, and the third is a time in the format HH:MM. After that, any number of values may be given.

At present, the only identifier recognized is BP, for blood pressure. This has three values following the time: the systolic pressure, in mm of Hg, the diastolic pressure in mm of Hg, and the pulse rate in beats per minute. For example, the line BP 2010-01-30 0806 110 80 55 indicates systolic and diastolic pressures of 110 and 80, respectively, and a pulse of 55 beats per minute.

An object of class "hemo".
