[Info-vax] SAS software for VAX/VMS

[Gregory Reut]

Hi all,

Looking for an advice from VMS experts.

I need to read a bunch of SAS v5 data files which came from a VAX. (These are clinical research data from the end of 80ies.) As far as I understand, I would need either SAS software v5 for VAX/VMS, of SAS v8 with v5 engine engine to read those files:

SAS themselves couldn't help with either VAX/VMS version or with v5 engine. 

Hence two questions:
- would anybody have by any chance v5 software or engine?
- perhpas there is another/better way to read the data?

Thanks in advance,
Greg
