Abstract
The interchange between different database management systems and stat istical packages may be hampered by different formats for data structu re. The programs FIXFREE and GENHDR convert database files into differ ent formats: ASCII fixed format to comma-delimited free ASCII format a nd vice versa. The programs may be used either as stand alone programs or as procedures within a database management system. The programs al so contain a procedure to import comma-delimited free ASCII formatted files into database management systems, e.g., DBase III, DBase IV, or the different versions of FOXPRO. The programs are written in TURBO PA SCAL (Version 6.0).
