Re: CTABLES examples

[Ben Pfaff]

Since I was starting from a public data set, I wasn't sure whether it
was better to use the variables in the data set as is (which are
mainly derived from the question numbers in the questionnaire, so you
end up with variable names like qn15 for question 15) or to rename
them for clarity. I started out trying to do the latter, but I quickly
ended up running out of inspiration for good names.

If you or anyone wanted to help me coming up with good names, you
could start from the file nhtsa-drinking-2008.sps in the examples
directory of the source tree and extend it by adding a bunch of
commands to rename variables to better names.
