		Hello Senior, 
I tried to open the zipped SPSS folders (.sav) for the 2013 NDHS datasets but only the SPSS files would open. The other distribution files (.MAP, .FRQ, .FRW) zipped along with the SPSS file did not open. When I searched online for help with opening the files, the documents couldn't be opened as the internet help engine did not know what program was used to create it. Please help me to get these documents opened as I need to see if I can find the state-level data in the files.  
I am really trying to look at the raw data files specified in the list below.

		Dear User, 
The files you are referring to "The other distribution files" (.MAP, .FRQ, .FRW)  are ASCII files.  They can be opened with any text editor including Microsoft Notepad.  If you are still having trouble opening the files, please post again. 
Thank you!
