[R] not a Stata version 5-12 .dta file

[Nicole Ford]

Hello, Ista.  

Honestly, I am uncertain.  I don't have STATA -- I downloaded this from the data source website.

I can't imagine it is 13 because the data are old (2006).  

I tried package readstata13 out of desperation, but didn't think it would resolve.

Thanks for the suggestion!
