AHS: Problem with 2001 ASCII Files

AHS
There is a problem with the ASCII version of the 2001 AHS microdata on the
HUD USER web site.  In the process of converting the SAS files to ASCII, we
also combined the records of the Person and Homimp files, so that there is
only one record per housing unit (instead of one per person and one per
alteration & repair project, respectively).  We made the mistake at HUD.
The Census Bureau had nothing to do with it.  The SAS files are fine.

I apologize to those of you who downloaded the bad files.  We will put up
new ones as quickly as possible.  I'll send out another notice when they
are ready.
