Hi Fei and everyone else who might have had this problem,
I'm trying to open stata files in R, I loaded library(foreign), and I get
this:
xmatrix<-read.dta("~/.vnc/xmatrix.dta")
Error in read.dta("~/.vnc/xmatrix.dta") :
Not a Stata version 5-7/SE .dta file
Any suggestions? Other people have worked with this file, so I assume
it's convertable somehow...

We got the data from the following World Bank website:
http://www.worldbank.org/lsms/country/china/chnhome.html
The datasets attached to this email are compiled by us, after
merging/modifying the original survey data.
As mentioned in the report, we were not able to replicate the reports due
to technical difficulties. Your advice on possible ways to improve
replication is most welcome. I have written to the authors asking for
advice, but haven't heard from them yet.
Cheers,
Fei

Make sure it's STATA file... If it's too old or too new, transfer it to an
appropriate version via DBMS copy.

A StatTranfer-esque program at HMDC that converts data files. I used it
the other day and it ROCKS!
