[Steven Dubnoff <sdubnoff@circlesys.com>]

Stat/Transfer Version Seven will ship the second week in January.  Yes, you 
can run both Stat/Transfer Six and Seven on the same machine and we will 
support both versions.

Stat/Transfer will now read and write the following new file formats:
       Stata Version Eight
       SAS Version Nine
       Systat for the Macintosh

In addition, Stat/Transfer Version 7 will handle fixed format ASCII files.

Stat/Transfer will read and write Fixed format ASCII with a Stat/Transfer 
Schema file.  The Schema file  can contain definitions for value labels, 
variable labels and missing values.

Stat/Transfer Version 7 will write fixed format ASCII data files 
accompanied by programs that will read the data into popular statistical 
packages.  These are:

       Fixed format ASCII with a SAS program
       Fixed format ASCII with a SPSS program
       Fixed format ASCII with a Stata program

New Capabilities and Changes

       Support for extended (.A - .Z) missing values in SAS, Stata and ASCII
       Support for value labels for string variables
       Automatic optimization of output types is now the default.

It is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and popular Unix platforms.

Best,

Steve
