Seems pretty simple. Are the dta files produced by Stata or something else? |

The new test files are produced with a program that I wrote based on the published specifications, but I test them with Stata (and occasionally a hex editor to be sure). I have also tested with a variety of historic files available from the Stata Technical Bulletin and the Stata Journal. |

doc/source/whatsnew/vX.X.X.rstfile if fixing a bug or adding a new feature.I wasn't sure whether to label this as a bug fix or enhancement as support has existed in the Pandas previously, but it last worked a long time ago.
I have included 103 support in this too as for the purposes of reading the format is identical (103 does not support data of byte type).
