A simple file seems to read OK if we just treat it like other "old format" (version 104-115) files. However I do not currently have any documentation for this format. The only relevant resource I can find is the file
foreign/src/stataread.c
in the Rforeign
package sources:https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/foreign_0.8-66.tar.gz
It suggests some special handling for version 111 but I haven't had time to figure out exactly what it is doing.
