I'm trying to read in a Stata file but I've never used this function (
read.dta).  It's the only one that seems to come close to working, but I
keep getting this error:

> data<-read.dta("C:/Documents and
Settings/Chris/Desktop/S4412/catestscores.dta")
Error in read.dta("C:/Documents and
Settings/Chris/Desktop/S4412/catestscores.dta",  :
        a binary read error occurred


There's little chance the data is corrupt considering it came from my
professor and he used the data earlier.  So, either I'm doing something
wrong or R just doesn't like to read in Stata files.  If it's a problem with
R, how can I easily convert the file without purchasing Stata?


Thanks!
