	UNITE
	-----

	THE FORTRAN PROGRAM UNITE MAY BE USED TO FACILITATE THE ANALYSIS
	BY THE PROGRAM CROSS OF SURVEYS CONTAINING TOO MANY QUESTIONS
	FOR ALL RESPONSES TO BE WRITTEN INTO ONE DATA FILE.  THE QUES-
	TIONNAIRE SHOULD BE DIVIDED INTO PARTS OF NOT MORE THAN 128
	QUESTIONS AND THE PROGRAM SURVEY USED TO CREATE A SEPARATE DATA
	FILE FOR EACH PART.  RESPONSES TO SETS OF CONSECUTIVE QUESTIONS
	TAKEN FROM TWO DIFFERENT PARTS (UP TO A TOTAL OF 128) MAY THEN
	BE UNITED IN A NEW DATA FILE.


      PROGRAM UNITE

      DESCRIPTION
	THIS PROGRAM COMBINES TWO FILES OF RESPONSES TO DIFFERENT QUES-
	TIONS BY THE SAME RESPONDENTS.

      SOURCE
	NORMAN W. JOHNSON, DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS, WHEATON COLLEGE,
	NORTON, MASS.

      INSTRUCTIONS
	CODED RESPONSES TO THE TWO SETS OF QUESTIONS SHOULD BE WRITTEN
	INTO ASCII DATA FILES BY THE PROGRAM SURVEY.  THE ORDER OF THE
	RESPONDENTS AND THE FIRST 4 CHARACTERS OF THE 5-CHARACTER IDEN-
	TIFICATION OF EACH RESPONDENT SHOULD BE THE SAME IN BOTH FILES.

	THE PROGRAM WILL REQUEST THE NAMES OF THE TWO FILES TO BE UNITED
	AND, FOR EACH, THE RANGE OF QUESTIONS TO BE INCLUDED.  THE USER
	SHOULD ENTER EITHER THE WORD "ALL", TWO NUMBERS JOINED BY A HY-
	PHEN TO INDICATE A BLOCK OF CONSECUTIVE QUESTIONS, OR ONE NUMBER
	FOR A SINGLE QUESTION.  THE TOTAL NUMBER OF QUESTIONS INCLUDED
	FROM BOTH FILES MUST NOT EXCEED 128.  THE TWO FILES WILL BE
	CHECKED TO SEE THAT THE NUMBER OF RESPONDENTS AND THEIR IDENTI-
	FICATIONS AGREE.  THE PROGRAM WILL ALSO ASK FOR THE NAME (NOT
	MORE THAN 5 CHARACTERS) THAT THE NEW DATA FILE IS TO HAVE AND
	FOR A DESCRIPTION OF THE SURVEY (NOT MORE THAN 48 CHARACTERS).

	MORE THAN TWO FILES CAN BE COMBINED BY REPEATED EXECUTIONS OF
	THIS PROGRAM.
