 NOTES:                                                                                          
                                                                                                 
 1. This program has been tested on Stata Version 10 (for Windows).                              
                                                                                                 
 2. This program will create a permanent Stata dataset.  All additional analyses                 
    can be run using this dataset.  In addition to the dataset, this program creates             
    a log file named H188F.LOG and a data file named H188F.DTA.  If these files (H188F.DTA and H188F.LOG)
    already exist in the working directory, they will be replaced when this program is executed. 
                                                                                                 
 3. If the program ends prematurely, the log file will remain open.  Before running this         
    program again, the user should enter the following Stata command: log close                  
                                                                                                 
 4. The cd command assigns C:\MEPS\DATA as the working directory and location of the input       
    ASCII and output .DTA and .LOG files and can be modified by the user as necessary.           
                                                                                                 
 5. Stata commands end with a carriage return by default. The command                            
    #delimit ;                                                                                   
    temporarily changes the command ending delimiter from a carriage return to a semicolon.      
                                                                                                 
 6. The infix command assumes that the input variables are numeric unless the variable name      
    is prefaced by str.  For example, DUPERSID is the a string (or character) variable.
