[amelia] Problems reading data

30 Jan 2003

Hello,

I'm having some problems reading data into Amelia.  When I try to 
read a Stata file (.dta), it tells me:

Error: Program was unable to read file contents
	Please check instructions to make sure input is of correct type

When I try to read it in text format, it just shuts down/crashes (the 
program, not the operating system).

I'm a Mac user, so I'm trying this on Virtual PC (though I've tried 
it on a PC down the hall  and had the same problems).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Strom
