FYI:
A module (-shp2dta-) to convert shape boundary files to Stata datasets
by Kevin
Crow ([email protected]) is available from the SSC Archive.
Description
shp2dta reads a shape (.shp) and dbase (.dbf) file from disk and
converts
them into Stata datasets. The shape and dbase files must have the
same
name and be saved in the same directory. The user-written command
tmap
can use the two datasets that shp2dta creates. shp2dta can
convert only
polygon shapefiles (type 5).
