Have you tried read.dta?
The URL on the help page for read.dta now says 'Stata 11 help for
dta', but it seems to document the same format (114) as Stata 10 (see
the value section). So in so far as Stata is telling us, it looks
like Stata 10 and 11 use the same format (as Stata 8 and 9 did).

I have a client who uses Stata 11.
Can anyone advise me on ways of transferring data from this version of Stata
to R?
Reading the documentation for read.dta in package foreign it seems it only
allows for versions up to Stata 10. I don't know Stata at all but a bit of
poking around on their website led me to believe Stata 11 couldn't write in
Stata 10 format. However Stata 11 can write Excel files in XML, so presumably
.xlsx files.
I suspect it can write .csv files. See for example

Any advice, correction of my misconceptions, etc. gladly received.
