[comp.misc] Statistical File conversion software

troeger@sequoia.tti.com (Troeger) (04/12/91)

I have a friend that needs either a software program that can convert data
files from two different statistical analysis packages, or information on
the file formats so he can write something himself. If anyone has any 
information on the following software programs, or software programs that 
could convert the data files from one format to the other, I (and he) would 
appreciate it:

        RS1 - by BBN Software Products Corp. (Cambridge Mass.)
        SAS/STAT - by SAS Institute, Inc. (Cary, North Carolina)

                Thanks

There is a package called dbmscopy which fits the bill.  Given
two alien file formats (identified by file extension) you say

	dbmscopy a.wk1 a.ssd

and it'll transparently do the conversion.
