Jacob, Stat/Transfer does support reading SYSTAT files on Windows. The "W" logos on the formats page (http://www.stattransfer.com/html/formats.html) indicate that those other particular formats are available on Windows only. SYSTAT file support is available on each supported OS. There are inexpensive academic/student prices available for Stat/Transfer if this is something that makes sense to invest in. If this is going to be a one-time issue, I would have your colleague re-save the data file to an ASCII CSV file, if possible.
