Stat/Transfer 9

Stat/Transfer is available for Windows, Mac OS X and UNIX . Stat/Transfer facilitates the transfer of data between different spreadsheet and statistics programs by providing an extremely fast, reliable, and automatic way to move data. We mostly use Stat/Transfer to convert datasets into Stata format (.dta files), but it has more general use as a superb program for transferring data files between formats.
