st: Announcing new item in SSC; convert_top_lines

[David Kantor <dkantor@jhu.edu>]

Hi Everyone,

I want to announce a new entry in SSC, convert_top_lines.

This program helps clean up the mess left when -insheet- can't gracefully 
handle some kinds of raw files. This can be used after -insheet-, to neaten 
the variable names and to assign variable labels, when the second line of 
the raw data file contains descriptive information suitable for labels, and 
these values interfered with the functioning of -insheet-.

Thanks to Kit Baum for placing this into the archives.
