Keywords: macros, input, files, missing values
                Relationship to matread() and macroread()
read() can be used instead of either matread() and macroread().  It
recognizes the same keywords.  In fact, the only difference from
matread() and macroread() is that matread() gives a warning message when
reading a macro and macroread() gives a warning message when reading a
data set.  read() makes no such complaint.  See matread() and
macroread() for details.
