Description
Summary:	The interchange between different database management systems and statistical packages may be hampered by different formats for data structure. The programs FIXFREE and GENHDR convert database files into different formats: ASCII fixed format to comma-delimited free ASCII format and vice versa. The programs may be used either as stand alone programs or as procedures within a database management system. The programs also contain a procedure to import comma-delimited free AS CIT formatted files into database management systems, e.g., DBase III, DBase IV, or the different versions of FOXPRO. The programs are written in TURBO PASCAL (Version 6.0). Reprinted by permission of the publisher, 1995.
