For a quick fix, get yourself a capable editor that can handle large 
binary files (e.g Ultraedit). Load in the file.  Search for "IN" and 
then change it to something else.  The variable names are blank 
padded on the right, so just add something to the end of it.

If you have Stat/Transfer, you can output a "Stata Program + ASCII 
Data File" and then edit the .dct file to change the variable name.

Best,

Steve
