How to read .svd files written with SAS/Statview?

[boblukk]

I have old .svd files genereated with Statview, which is now obsolete. Any suggestion about how to open them? The only way seems to be with the Statview software, which is now out of production

A quick search doesn't provide a great deal of hope as far as open tools.

Can you post one of the files and any known documentation about the specific contents? Sometimes it is possible to tease stuff out though that may be more time consuming.

You may have a secondary issue with whether you have truly ancient MAC files or a later version.

Or contact the guy at this post: https://globalpragmatica.com/?page_id=93

And see if you think it is 1) legit and 2) within your budget.

Thank you for replying. I prefer not to post the files as they may contain personal identifiers. Will reach out to the post that you indicated
