What does R do?  I thought it could import SAS or Stata files, but I
don't know if it preserves labeling.  Also, the price of the program is
right, but there is a cost in learning it.  I've tried many times...

If you have SAS 9.2 available, it will import files from Stata v10, and 
preserve labels.  I thought SAS had bought dbms copy to kill it, but it 
seems that SAS has incorporated parts of it, even though it does not 
support the stand-alone dbms copy very well.

SPSS reads and writes both Stata and SAS files, preserving labels.

Ben (or somebody) would have to find the money to pay for Stat/Transfer.
