SurveyMaker Files
SurveyMaker files include:

Questionnaire File (filename.QNR) - contains
the title of the survey, special formatting
information, and the text of the questions.

Data File (filename.DTA) - contains response
data you have keyed in for a particular
survey format.  The beginning of the file has
the format information and the key-word
descriptors for the questions.  This is
followed by a series of values giving the
answers of the respondents.

Report File (filename.RPT) - contains the
statistical summary of the responses contained
in one or more data files.  You build the
report file by scanning the data file.  It is
possible to merge results from various data
files by merging report files.
Format File (filename.FMT) - contains your
custom report layout preferences, created by
using the workscreen for customizing your
report.  You can save your layout as a format
file and load it again later, connecting it
with the report file (the two must be
compatible) to print your custom version.
You can make as many format files to go with
a report file as you like.

Text File (filename.TXT) - contains various
reports you print using the text-file option
which is available for all reports.  This
allows you to export your reports in the
universal ASCII text format which is readable
by all word processor and graphics programs.
This way you can further customize the layout
of the report, or include it in your other
documents.

Export File (filename.TAB) - contains
specially formatted reports, either the
overview report or the advanced cross-tab
report) readable by spreadsheet programs.
[Note to advanced user: the TAB file-extension
denotes that the exported file is in tab-
delimited ASCII format; set your spreadsheet
package to load this type of file.]
