How can I read/convert SAS Gov't Data files on a MAC?

Question

There are gov't data files: http://www.cdc.gov/EpiInfo/

Available in this weird SAS format. How can I convert them into XML/CSV, something much simpler that can be read by scripts/etc.???

Answer 1

Are the data in the SAS XPORT (.xpt) or .sas7bdat format?

Answer 2

JMP runs on MAC and can read sas files. Visit jmp.com for more information.

Answer 3

(Already posted this to superuser.com)

SAS Institute (the company that makes SAS) produces a viewer for SAS data sets.

Note that SAS program files usually have the extension .sas, whereas the data files themselves usually have the extension .sas7bdat.

(EDIT: I notice belatedly that your title says on a Mac, so this may not help much as I believe the tool is Windows only.)
