1) You'd need to figure out how to call sas as a command with a
program argument in win2k. It's not going to be "sas file.sas",
but
I have heard rumors that it can be done.
2) The use of an "ls" command inside read.ssd suggests that it was
never intended to be used outside of Unix.
3) SAS on Windows cannot read files from SAS on Unix anyway. (I kid
you not!)
Basically, you need to write an export library and then you might as
well use read.xport.
