Thanks!
t(t(table(apply(X, 1, paste, collapse=""))))
  worked but using prelim.norm tells me that there is only one unique pattern 
that occurs for all rows (it returns the first row) which I know is not true.

here is an inefficient approach:

[,1]
000 1197
001 1238
010 1245
011 1230
100 1331
101 1259
110 1247
111 1253

You are getting a warning and not an error from prelim.norm(), and 
the answer it gives seems to match the approach above.

> library(norm)
> X <- apply(X, 2, function(x){replace(x, x == 0, NA)})
> prelim.norm(X)$r
[,1] [,2] [,3]
1253 1 1 1
1230 0 1 1
1259 1 0 1
1238 0 0 1
1247 1 1 0
1245 0 1 0
1331 1 0 0
1197 0 0 0

hope this helps,

Chuck
