Hopefully that routine will do the trick.  If not I would suggest

* Hunt around for some kindly friend who has Stat/Transfer, SPSS, or 
DBMSCopy who will do the conversion for you

* Peggy's email address is at washington.edu - surely somewhere on 
campus somebody has the above programs

* Splurge and buy Stat/Transfer, a very handy little program.  See

Or, better yet, you might qualify for gradplan pricing ($63, at least 
at my school).  See
