reading STATA's dta format in CL

[Tamas Papp]

Hi,

Does anyone know a Common Lisp library that can read STATA's dta format
into CL? If there isn't one, I can always convert into CSV using eg R,
but I thought I would check.

Best,

Tamas

Sorry Tamas, not aware of any such library

Hi David,

I ended up converting in R to CSV, and then compressed it with gzip, now
the data takes up less space _and_ it is much faster to read into CL.

Writing a CL reader for STATA formats is on my todo list now, but not a
high priority.

Best,

Tamas
