Yes Christopher, i just wanted to read a STATA dta file into FORTRAN
directly. I would not know where to start with this myself, which is
why I ask here. Sergiy Radyakin provided a link to some FORTRAN code
which someone has written to do exactly this. I have not tried it yet,
but the code exists and it looks very promising.
