The current version of stat/transfer we have in EDS does not convert files into R. This feature is coming in the next version of stat/transfer (shipping now). In the meantime, here's how to do it.

• Open your Window version of R.
• Under R's "File" pulldown menu, "Change Dir" to the directory where your data is.
• Give the commands

  require(foreign)
  mydata <- read.spss("bogus.sav",use.value.labels = TRUE, to.data.frame = TRUE)
  

• require(foreign) loads a library of functions for reading data.
• use.value.labels tells R to use Spss value labels, if they are present.

For complete information, give this command in R:

?read.spss
